Advantages of LED Lighting
LEDs offer numerous benefits due to their mode of operation:

Energy Efficiency
With consistent breakthroughs in Light-emitting-diode (LED) technology, it has already become one of the most efficient light source. Almost all lighting applications are possible with LEDs.

LED Lighting offers energy saving ranging between 30-80% as compared to conventional lighting.

CREE, OSRAM, PHILIPS are few reputed manufactures of High power & Low power LED chips.

Product & Lighting Design flexibility
LEDs are available in different viewing angles thereby helping Product designers & Lighting Designers to CUSTOMIZE lighting solutions.

A single LED is very small. LEDs can be combined in any shape to produce desired lumen packages as the design goals and economics permit. In addition, LEDs can be considered miniature light fixtures; distribution of light can be controlled by the LEDs’ epoxy lens, simplifying the construction of architectural fixtures designed to utilize LEDs. A controller can be connected to an LED fixture to selectively dim individual LEDs, resulting in the dynamic control of distribution, light output and color. Finally, DC power enables the unit to be easily adaptable to different power supplies.

Long Life
Some LEDs are projected to produce a long service life of about 100,000 hours. For this reason LEDs are ideal for hard-to-reach/maintain fixtures such as exit sign light and, combined with its durability, pathway lighting. This service life can be affected by the application and environmental factors, including heat and if being overdriven by the power supply.

Range of Colours
LEDs are available in a range of colours, including white light. White light can also be produced through color mixing of red, blue and green LEDs. In addition, through the innovative combination of various-colored LEDs, dramatic color-changing effects can be produced from a single fixture through dynamic activation of various sets of LEDs. These fixtures can be individually controlled via a PC, DMX controller or proprietary controller to generate effects including fixed color, color washing, cross fading, random color changing, strobing and variable strobing.

Preliminary research in Retail Display applications suggests that using colored LED background lighting combined with spot lighting on merchandise may improve energy efficiency and reduce maintenance costs while catching the eye of the consumer in a fresh manner.

No UV Emissions/Little Infrared
LEDs produce no UV radiation and little heat, making them ideal for illuminating objects, such as works of art, that are sensitive to UV light.

Durable
LEDs are highly rugged. They feature no filament that can be damaged due to shock and vibrations. They are subject to heat, however, and being overdriven by the power supply.

Other Benefits
The other benefits of LEDs include:

• Lights instantly
• Can be easily dimmed
• Silent operation
• Low-voltage power supply (increased safety)

LIGHTING APPLICATIONS

• In architectural applications, the greatest penetration of LEDs has been in LED down lights, Spotlights, Cove lights & 2X2 recessed office lights.
• LED bollards, Drive-over lights, Post tops are very popular in Landscape lighting
• In Industrial applications, LEDs can be used effectively in Highbays and rails to light up the shop floors & utility areas.
• LED street lights are proving to be the best solution for major & secondary roads.

Indian Government has made it compulsory to use LED lighting in common areas in applications like SEZs.
