LED Technology

          The use of LED, which stands for light emitting diodes, is strongly prevalent in recent years in many application fields, ranging from traffic lights to infrared remote controls. The spread of the LED in the industry has taken place is due to advances in technology that have enabled the production of LED in different colors from red (which was initially the only available color for the LED), is due to the intrinsic characteristics of the LED : high reliability, high efficiency, long life.

Advantages of LED
  • Long operating life
  • no maintenance costs
  • high efficiency compared to incandescent and halogen lamps
  • safe operation
  • clean light was devoid of components IR and UV
  • Flexibility of installation of the light
  • the absence of mercury 
  • possibility of a strong spot effect
  • cold start with no problems 
  • insensitivity to moisture and vibration
  • ease of implementation of efficient optical plastic and glass
Characteristics of LED
  • Miniaturization 
  • dynamic effects (color change RGB)
  • enhancement of shapes and volumes
  • long life and durability
  • saturated colors
  • scenic effects and design
Applications of LED
  • lighting of private houses
  • office lighting
  • lighting of museums and public spaces
  • lighting spas
  • lighting shops and public places
  • lighting of swimming pools
  • Road sign panels
  • safe routes
  • lighting of ships and boats
