WHY LED TECHNOLOGY?
LEDs DO NOT PRODUCE ANY UV RADIATION
LED light fixtures do not emit any radiation, especially no UV radiation, which is the characteristic disadvantage of energy-saving light bulbs and classic old fluorescent lamps and gas-discharge lamps.
LED LAMPs ARE NOT NEGATIVELY IMPACTED BY THE NUMBER OF TURN-ON AND TURN-OFF CYCLES
LED light fixtures are not impacted by the number of switch-on/off cycles. Unlike energy-saving light bulbs and discharge lamps, LED fixtures light up immediately without any time delay.
LED = LONG LIFE
The service life of the LED light sources ranges from 30,000 – 70,000 hours. If you consider an average 12 hours per day LED lamp will last from 8 to 19 years.
LED = SAVES ELECTRICITY AND MONEY
The biggest advantage of LED systems is the saving of electricity. Your energy expenditure will go down. By performing a simple calculation you learn that your energy consumption is approximately 50% lower when compared with with the use of conventional fluorescent lamps, and 60-70% when compared with discharge lamps. Another cost-saving factor is that LED lights are absolutely maintenance-free. This eliminates the need to replace light sources, which you must do if you use conventional light bulbs, energy-saving bulbs, fluorescent lamps, discharge lamps, etc.
LED LIGHTS DO NOT CONTAIN MERCURY
LED products do not contain mercury or any gases so they are not considered a hazardous waste. LEDs poses no danger to your health and it is environment-friendly.
LEDs REDUCES CO2 EMISSIONS
Thanks to the savings in electricity consumption LED lights reduce CO2 in the air, which is created by power plants while producing electric power. By using energy-saving LED technology we improve the life on our planet.
LED LIGHTS ENABLE LIGHT INTENSITY CONTROL 0 – 100%
LED LIGHTS REACH 100% OF THEIR ILLUMINATION POWER IMMEDIATELY AFTER THEY ARE TURNED ON
LED light power efficiency is instantaneous! No heating, no lengthy increase in light intensity. Immediate 100% performance at restart.
LED LIGHTS RETAIN THE REAL COLOURS OF OBJECTS
When using the white colour temperature of light, which is one of the possible variants of LED lighting, the illuminated objects retain their true colours.
Your eyes will see the true and authentic colours of objects. The true colour rendering of outdoor objects along roads contributes to road safety.

SWITCHING ON /OFF DOES NOT REDUCE THE SERVICE LIFE OF LED LIGHTS
In contrast, frequent switching on/off greatly reduce the service life of fluorescent lamps, discharge lamps and incandescent lamps. It is has been measured that if this cycle is repeated seven times a day, the service life of these standard light sources is reduced approximately by half when compared with the life specified by the manufacturer.
