It is undisputed that high power LED is the future of lighting - things you need to know

PR Log (Press Release) – Feb 06, 2009 – Technology has advanced rapidly since the invention of the tiny ‘low power’ LED lights we see consuming power in ‘standby’ mode on televisions and other electronic devices. Low power LED light bulbs have been available for some time and whilst they are less expensive, they provide disappointing light brightness levels. The latest high power LED light sources use cutting edge technology developed in Silicon Valley, California making them much brighter and infinitely more efficient than their predecessors. High power LED now offers a real ‘like for like’ alternative to replace domestic and commercial light bulbs.

High power LED light bulbs are more expensive than other types of light bulb but they are designed last for up to 50,000 hours, that’s more than ten years, so the initial cost is easily made up for.  
The cost of switching to LED can be spread by replacing old bulbs as they blow. Most conventional light bulbs only last about twelve months so the total cost is likely to be spread over at least a year.  LED lights require zero maintenance and will not need to be replaced for a decade.

LED lighting advances have been overshadowed by ‘curly’ compact fluorescent light bulbs as an alternative to the power hungry, soon to be outlawed, incandescent light bulb. Recent concerns over the safe disposal of CFL bulbs and international pressure to conserve the environment has resulted in government level promotion of LED as the future of lighting.
Many ‘energy saving’ light bulbs are routinely criticised for providing poor brightness levels and light colour. The ‘flickering’ nature of some fluorescent lights has adverse effects in a work environment. High power LED provides a true ‘white’ light that is extremely close to natural daylight. High power LED lights are available in ‘cool white’ and ‘warm white’ colours.
Unlike many light bulbs high power LED lights do not contain harmful chemicals, are safe to handle and can be recycled.
High power LED light bulbs and fittings are available in an extensive range of formats which offer true substitutes for almost every conventional domestic, industrial and commercial lighting application.
