LED Why LED?

Lighting Energy Savings
Saving energy is an important factor for many communities and decision makers. LED lighting offers one of the highest energy
savings of any lighting source on the market. In comparison to high–intensity discharge (HID) lamps, LED luminaires could save

How Light is Created

When sufficient voltage is applied to the LED’s semi-conductor chip, current flows and the electrons cross into the junction
from the “N” region while holes cross into the junction from the “P” region (see diagram). The attraction of electrons to holes
causes recombination. When the electrons recombine
with the holes, electromagnetic energy is released as
photons – what we see as visible light. The material of
the chip and the phosphor used to create white light
determines the wavelength of this energy.

Solar LED The Benefits of Solar LED

LEDs are fundamentally compatible with solar energy. On a very conceptual basis an LED is the inverse of a solar cell. A solar cell is a
semi-conductor device that converts light to electricity, while an LED is a semi-conductor device that converts light to electricity to light.
LED’s “control-ability” enables them, through intelligent controls, to adapt to the ebb and flow of the solar energy through changing

weather patterns and seasons. Like solar cells, LEDs offer “solid state” reliability - lasting at least a decade, if not longer. LEDs efficiency
on the surrounding envrionment are all reasons and lifetime improves under colder conditions - when the system needs it the most. And then of course, well designed LED lighting
systems can reduce the number of lighting systems on a project by 20% or more and still achieve exceptional lighting results.
