Why choose a standard fluorescent light fitting when you could have an LED solid state integrated LED luminaire?
It is safe to say that with the advances in technology the growth of the LED light has taken over the traditional lighting market, considering its cost saving, environmental benefits it’s no wonder the solid state integrated luminaire is a fantastic option when looking at your lighting solutions.
The fluorescent lighting tubes we are so used to seeing are created with metal fittings on each end where electricity is passed through a glass tube — inside the tube is a small amount of magnesium and argon (argon does not react heat or electricity). The glass tube is coated with a phosphorus powder, meaning that when electricity is passed through the metal caps the magnesium atoms release energy in the form of ultraviolet light, when this ultraviolet light hits the phosphorus coating it begins to glow, creating light. The advancement of the LED light means that no gas or filament of any kind is used — light is produced purely through a semiconductor material where the electrons inside release energy in the form of visible light. Making the LED option a long lasting, radiation free, energy saving, environmentally friendly alternative to traditional fluorescent lights.
The benefits of the LED solid state integrated LED luminaire:
- Environmentally friendly; the LED light is considered to be the ‘green’ lighting solution of the 21st century
- Low heat; LED lamps make electric energy into light energy causing less heat and no waste of energy
- Soft light beams and no strobe-flash: Traditional fluorescent tube lights use alternating current which generates 100 — 120 times of strobe-flash per second. The LED tube lamp directly switches the alternating current into direct current, meaning there is no flickering (which can affect eyes)
- No ultraviolet radiation; making indoor space cleaner and free of bugs that are attracted to ultraviolet radiation
- Long life span; lasts for 8,000 hrs (up to 6 years!)
Energy saving; uses lower than 1/3 of the traditional fluorescent lamps power consumption
The LED solid state integrated LED luminaire is ideal for use within warehouses, large commercial and industrial premises and cold stores (operates up to -25 degrees) it offers long-term savings, premium performance and does not contain any gases that could be harmful to the environment.
