Replacing an outdated illumination system with a modern LED one can lead to tremendous savings. Saving is achieved in different ways:

• High energy efficiency of LED lamps leads to the very low consumption of the electrical energy
• Long lifetime and maintenance free operation decrease maintenance costs to minimum
• Indirect savings as e.g. improved working conditions or avoiding environmental charges bring additional savings

Long life time stands out as one of the most important benefits of LED lights. LED lamps have an outstanding operational life time of up to 50.000 hours. This is 6 years of continuous operation, what means that if you leave the LED fixture on for 8h per day it would take almost 20 years before you would have to replace the LED bulb again.

LED’s are different to standard lighting: They do not really burn out and stop working like a standard light, moreover the lighting diodes emit lower output levels over a very long period of time and become less bright.

Most conventional fluorescent lighting bulbs contain a multitude of materials like e.g mercury that are dangerous for the environment. As a contrast to them, LED lights are completely free of toxic chemicals and 100% recyclable.

With its high energy efficiency, LED can help decreasing the energy consumption and significantly reducing carbon footprint.

The long operational lifetime means also that one LED light can save material and production of 25-50 halogen or incandescent light bulbs, or 5-10 fluorescent tubes. A big step towards a greener future!

The way how we perceive colors depends on the spectral content of the light source. LED lamps have continuous spectrum, what means that they can reproduce every color which human eye can see. In the other words, LED lamps are capable of bringing the real colors of the objects that they illuminate, creating pleasant feeling, good color reproduction and natural skin tones.

White LED lamps come in a variety of warm, neutral and cold white color. By choosing the right color it is possible to create e.g. warm, cozy and welcoming atmosphere, or crisp bright environment perfect for work, or energizing space that give energy to the people.

LED lamps can be turned on instantaneously. At the flick of the switch they start burning with their full brightness, without any delay. There is no warm up time, change of color or flickering – led lamps produce full brightness illumination from the first moment they are turned on. Also. they have no problem with hot start. LED lamps can be used, then switched off, then switched on immediately. Whether the lamp is cold or already warm, does not make any difference.

Capability of being switched rapidly gives to the LED technology an outstanding capability to be controlled. LED lamps can be easily dimmed to any desired level, they can perform dynamic programs and with the proper control system LED lamps can be easily controlled in any imaginable way.

Many countries stimulate energy reduction measures. As the most efficient way to conserve energy, LED technology is high on the list of priorities of those stimulative measures. This means that investment in a new, energy efficient, LED system is eligible for receiving a government subsidy for energy efficiency, i.e. the organization who is investing in a LED lighting system can receive a part of the investment back from the government.
