LED vs. Others

LED is not just the brightest, but also longest lasting and best.

LED is a truly superior technology for all kinds of general illumination applications. LED lighting is brighter, more energy efficient and cost-effective compared to traditional incandescent and fluorescent lighting. Especially in locations where lights are required for significant hours per day, the long term savings are compelling. Traditional light bulbs have to be replaced every 1,000 - 2,000 hours for incandescent bulbs, or every 4,000 - 6,000 hours for compact fluorescents. LED lights can last 40,000 hours or more. While the initial cost of an LED powered fixture may be higher today, the longer term cost of ownership can be much lower without the requirement to replace burned out light bulbs.

The energy savings and environmental benefits make LED an even more compelling choice.
