Benefits of LED
LED is a trusted technology, we are all familiar with in safety critical applications. From overhead motorway information signs, vehicle light clusters, Armadillo LED can now bring this well known technology into your every day environment, hugley reducing your energy demands. The step change in modern lighting falls into the SSL lighting category (Solid State Lighting). This simply means that the light seen is emitted from a solid object, rather than a vacuum or a gas.
The Benefits of Armadillo LED Light
-
Energy Efficiency - The light bulbs burn very cool, while incandescent bulbs emit 98 per cent of their energy as heat! Much more bang for the buck.
-
Instant and natural bright light.
-
Long life – These lights can last well in excess of 50,000 hours. Incandescent light bulbs typically last around 1,000 hours and fluorescents are good for roughly 6,000 hours.
-
Rugged durability – LED lights have no fragile filament to contend with, and no fragile tube. They are resistant to heat, cold, and shock.
-
Low or No Maintenance.
-
No UV or IR emissions.
-
No Noise or Flicker.
-
Dimmable.
-
Lumens per watt – While manufacturers are still finding new ways to increase this ratio, Cree Inc. has been able to produce an LED chip that generates 85+ lumens/watt, with a road map on the latest CREE XP chips in excess of 128 lumens/watt at 350mA.
Compare the Lifetime and Lumen Maintenance of LED Light.
LED lead any known llight source in lifetime and lumen maintenance (>50,000hrs at 70% lumen maintenance). LED inherently fail "gracefully" - no burn out, catastrophic failure Up to 100,000hrs (>11 years continous life) can be projected
