Solid State Lighting for your Home…
Solid-state lighting (SSL) refers to a type of lighting that uses LEDs, OLEDs and PLEDs as sources of illumination.
The same reason your great-grandfather bought an Edison lamp- FUEL IS EXPENSIVE! The global need for energy efficiency has compelled technological advancements in solid state lighting to new heights. With general lighting accounting for an estimated 20% of all electricity being used in the Our Country alone, LED for general lighting has become a focus of governments, and large organizations throughout the world.
The potential benefits of solid state lighting are simply amazing. They include substantial money and energy savings, as well as having a positive environmental outcome.
Benefits of SSL LEDs:
- Long life- How often do you change your lamps? White LEDs currently have a usable life of 100,000 hours and growing. Usable life of solid state lighting is the amount of time passed before a reduction of lumen output is 30% less than initial output.
How long is 50,000 hours?
50,000 hrs running 24/7 365 days a year = 5.7 years.
50,000 hrs running 12 hrs a day 365 days a year = 11.4 years
50,000 hrs running 08 hrs a day 365 days a year = 17.12 years
- Durability- Solid state in nature, LED lighting is far more durable than any other type of lighting. No lamps, filaments, or thin glass ensures facilities a ton of savings in breakage and shorter life due to ambient forces like wind, vibration, movement, and human error.
- General maintenance: Often a major factor when determining lighting upgrade, the maintenance savings are a major factor in return on investment. However important, many a financial analysis discount or overlook this factor altogether. Total system and total cost must be considered, when choosing high quality solid state lighting payback periods from 2 to 5 years are absolutely possible depending on the projects.
While energy saving is one part you must consider the following technological advantages also which will automatically decide in favor of using LED lamps.
- Low energy consumption
- Extremely long life ( MORE THAN 50.000 hours.)
- Very low early failure rate
- Smallest dimensions
- Shock and vibration resistant
- Shatter proof.
- No ultra-violet or infrared radiation
- Low wattage
- Almost no heat generation
- High color saturation
- Creative design options due to a multitude of available colors, compact dimensions and flexible modules High economical efficiency due to low energy consumption, long life and low maintenance cost Highest reliability even under difficult conditions
- “Green” is the voluntary pursuit of any activity, which encompasses concern for energy efficiency & saving environment, water conservation, use of recycled products and renewable energy.
- LED lighting luminaries have all the above points and hence are apt for pursuit of Green building qualities and save precious environment and humanity.
