System Advantage
A Range of Colors: LEDs produce high purity colored light that can be mixed to create millions of colors - offering users a broad spectrum of choices. Stand-alone colors include near UV, violet, blue, cyan, true green, yellow-green, yellow (amber), orange, red-orange, red and "white".
Compact Size: With their small size (about the size of a pepper flake), LEDs can be used in places unreachable with conventional lighting. By producing less heat than conventional lighting, LED-based fixtures are smaller, resulting in applications that can be safely positioned inconspicuously, if not invisibly, almost anywhere.
Efficiency: Because LEDs run on low current and low voltage and efficiently convert electricity into light, they require less energy than conventional light sources. For example, blue LEDs are 20 times more efficient than color-filtered incandescent bulbs and red LED are 3 times more efficient. LEDs can also be powered by battery and solar cells.
Low Maintenance: LEDs do not necessarily need an electrician for installation. They are rarely replaced, which saves on labor and puts an end to unsightly burned out bulbs or tubes.
Durability: LEDs are extremely robust - resistant to shock, vibration, mechanical and thermal stresses, and vandalism. Assemblies can be completely sealed, making them waterproof, and are a suitable option for "hostile" environments like extreme cold or high humidity. For this reason they are used on cars and trucks, in airplane cockpits, even in space.
Safety: The low operating voltage of LEDs eliminates sparks and qualify for UL low-wattage certification. Reduced weight cuts down on equipment and injuries, and long life span reduces need for maintenance in high, hot and hazardous environments. With battery back up systems, LED traffic signals, EXIT signs and other forms of signal and egress lighting continue to operate during power outages. In addition, increased visibility and immediate illumination enable motorists to respond faster in emergency situations.
