WHAT ARE L.E.D & CREE L.E.D.?

L.E.D: stands for ‘’Light Emitting Diode’’, an L.E.D is a small piece of semi conducting material that contains various compounds. When electricity is passed through these semi conductive materials light is emitted in the form of photons. This process is call electro-luminescence.

CREE L.E.D: Cree is a new technology that has changed the face of bulbs for the future, using silicon/chip technology CREE lights now use less battery power while providing far superior brightness that is unrivalled by any other lamps on the market.

EFFICIENCY

L.E.D

An L.E.D light can produce the same amount of lumens as an Incandescent while using only 25% of the power. Up to 90% of incandescent lights energy is heat created by electrical resistance lament (i.e they are more e cient as heaters than lights).

Typical L.E.D light life span 20,000 (L.E.D) To 50,000 (Cree L.E.D) Hours

RoHS - Restriction Of Hazardous Substances’. The ‘Restriction Of Hazardous Substances’ directive is put in place to ensure all componenets of our el electrical products will not endanger the user. All our lights are tested to this standard with compliance.
