Energy savings are 50% compared to consumption by low energy lighting sources such as compact fluorescent lamps or mercury and xenon bulbs. Savings of 90% are possible if incandescent or halogen bulbs are replaced by LEDs.
LED sources have a lifetime of 40,000 to 50,000 hours, the equivalent of 12 years’ commercial lighting for 12 hours a day, 300 days a year. LEDs last between 2 and 10 times longer than any other source of lighting and so require less maintenance.
A luminous flux free of UV and IR emissions has no detrimental impact on products illuminated. Colours are enhanced, revealing accents and subtleties in lighted displays. Low heat emission levels of 40° to 60° increase visitor and staff comfort.
