Top 5 Benefits Of Led Bathroom Lights
LED, or Light Emitting Diode lamps make use of a lighting technology that uses a two-lead semiconductor light source. LED lighting is generally held to be superior to other lighting sources due to its brightness, lesser environmental impact, and long life. Very often used in bathrooms, LED bathroom lighting has several advantages. -
Does the future of LED lighting lie with high voltage LEDs?
High voltage or HV LEDs operate on mains voltage 240V AC and have a current stabilization device fitted into the chip of the HV LED. This eliminates the requirement for a capacitor which is used in conventional LEDs to convert the voltage from mains 240V into the required DC output voltage. The capacitor is the weakest link in the chain and is often the first component to fail. -
Could an LED Revolution Give Us Light Like the Sun?
Headed by a group of scientists over in Germany, is a project that aims to see whether LED lights can be revolutionised, providing a whiter light in the process. As a direct result of the research undertaken, they have devised a new luminescent material for LED bulbs, with the Phosphor it includes improving energy efficiency and makes the artificial light provided almost as natural as the light provided by the sun. -
LEDs and Sustainable Ethos Light Up Glastonbury Once More
Once again, this years Glastonbury Festival has been a resounding success - some minor flooding aside. With around 200,000 people descending upon a small farm in Pilton every year, at first glance at least, the festival seems entirely unsustainable. This is in fact, far from the case and there are a number of green pledges that the festival makes; including one pledge about LED lighting, which ensures the festival can keep going year after year.
