Understanding LED Lighting

LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. Unlike incandescent bulbs, LEDs are solid-state devices that convert electrical energy directly into light, offering energy efficiency and longevity.

LEDs significantly reduce energy consumption compared to incandescent and fluorescent bulbs. An LED can use up to 90% less energy and last 25 times longer.

LEDs emit light when electrons move through a semiconductor material. The color of the light is determined by the energy gap of the semiconductor.

LEDs have a rapid on/off time, are dimmable, and produce less heat. They are more durable, without filaments that can break, and they don't emit UV rays.

CRI measures a light source's ability to reveal colors accurately. LED lights have a high CRI, providing a more vibrant and natural lighting environment.

Unlike conventional bulbs, LEDs can be engineered to emit specific wavelengths (colors) of light for tailored applications like plant growth or mood lighting.

LEDs are integral to smart lighting systems, easily integrating with sensors and controls for automated and energy-efficient lighting solutions in smart homes and cities.
