Why LED's

Before we can see the benefits of LEDs over the technologies of the past, we need to know what those technologies are. High Intensity Discharge (HID) lights include; Mercury Vapor, Metal Halide, Ceramic Metal Halide, High Pressure Sodium (HPS), Xenon Short-Arc and Ultra-High Performance lamps, with HPS being the most common.

 

Benefits of LED's

	LEDs produce light when electrons are charged on the surface of a semiconductor or diode
	Uses a power supply to drive the current
	LED 400W HPS equivalent consumes about 171 watts of electricity
	Average life of our LED is 60,000 hours or 14 years
	Robust design and components
	Focused light
	True color with vivid visibility
	Instant off/on
	Dimmable
	Zero maintenance cost
	No UV, mercury, sodium, fully recyclable
	LED light is invisible to most bugs
	Refractive lenses
