Revolutionary times...LED Lighting could spell the end for light bulbs as we know them.
Upgrading your failure prone light bulbs while RADICALLY cutting your power bill is now just as easy as changing the bulb to an LED.LED's (light emitting diodes) are solid state lighting devices that utilize semiconductor material instead of a filament or neon gas. These lights are tiny chips encapsulated in an epoxy resin enclosure. Just like computer processors, each year's production is dramatically improved over last year's. Light emitting diodes consume up to 90% less power than incandescent bulbs. Yes, the upfront investment is more, but payback is typically 3 years or less. Why pay for 60 watts of power from an incandescent when you can get the same lighting for 5 watts...and not replace it for 27 years? Also, money and energy is saved in maintenance and replacement costs due to the long lifespan... up to or beyond a 50,000 hour lifespan...left on for eight hours a day, you won't have to change it for over seventeen years!
Since this revolutionary lighting generates very little, if any, heat, the energy savings may be doubled in air-conditioned environments. Light emitting diodes are ideal for locations where you work close to an incandescent bulb...kitchens, offices, etc. LED versus FlourescentsIn commercial applications, LED replacements for fluorescent tube fixtures provide many advantages that result in a dramatic increase to the bottom line and marketplace prestige.Whether a company is conforming to governmental mandates or just wanting to be perceived as environmentally conscious, light emitting diodes will provide the "we are green" image.
Rated lifespan well over 50,000 hours, though time to complete failure may be longer. Fluorescent tubes are rated at 7,500 to 10,000 hours or less, depending on tube quality and environment. Long life is perfect for difficult areas to change bulbs or where paid maintenance personnel employed. Consume 1/2 the power of fluorescent...big $$$ straight to the bottom line. No flicker, hum or buzz. Contain no mercury like fluorescent tubes...totally recyclable. Instant start up. No annoying warm up. Require no ballast -- a sizable cost and time savings. Solid state devices...able to withstand shock, vibration and extreme temperature. Emit a much higher percentage of light in the desired direction. 
What's so great about Light Emitting Diodes?
They save energy/money, protect our natural environment, and make the built environment a happier place to work and live.
