OUTSTANDING ENERGY SAVINGS
Electric lighting burns 25% of the average home energy budget.
The electricity used over the lifetime of a single incandescent bulb costs on average 10 times the original purchase price of the bulb itself.
LED’s (light emitting diodes) have revolutionised energy efficient lighting using on average only 20% of the energy required to power a traditional filament or energy saving halogen lamps for the same light output.
GREATER LIFESPAN
Ecoled lights typically last up to 100,000 hours with almost no degradation of light output .That is about 30 years in an average household (based on 8 hours usage per day).
That is more than 10 times the lifespan of even Compact Fluorescents and 30 times longer than typical incandescent light bulbs both of which deteriorate output with age.
Maintenance is virtually eliminated. Imagine almost never having to change a light bulb and negligable replacement costs!
Ecoleds are solid and do not have a filament so they are virtually indestructible.
COOL/SAFE
Ecoled lights have a low operating temperature making them much safer to the touch, also reducing heat pollution and thus the need for secondary systems such as air conditioning.
They run off a 12v or 24v system
MERCURY FREE and ECO FRIENDLY
Ecoleds are mercury free unlike Compact Fluorescent Bulbs which need careful handling and disposal
Our products are also carbon trust compliant.
NO LIGHT POLLUTION
Unlike conventional lighting, Ecoleds have a directional light source thus eliminating light pollution making them highly efficient
DESIGN
The element of design incorporated into Ecoled lights makes them suitable for most application and invariably suitable as direct replacements for conventional lighting such as down lights.
COLOUR
Contrary to popular belief LED lights are available in many different "shades" of colour (Kelvin) including white, warm white, RGB (red,green, blue) colour changing.They are also fully dimmable.
COST EFFECTIVE
Although initially more expensive, the cost of Ecoled lighting, is very soon recouped and within any new build allows easy compliance with the new building regulation energy saving requirements.
SOLAR/WIND POWER
Due to the very low energy consumption Ecoled light are extremely suitable for use with solar panels or wind power.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY "SI" LED AND "MI" LED?
"SI" (Super Intense) is the first generation of LEDs. Typically the 5mm type.
"MI" (Mega Intense) is the more powerful LED typically 1 Watt and above which can be used for illumination.
Often a number of these would be combined to create light outputs equivalent to the previous 20W 50W and 100W filament and halogen lamps however, ECOLEDproducts are now generally employing the latest generation of powerful, single MI LEDs.
WHAT'S A PSU AND DO I NEED ONE?
Simply put, PSU stands for Power Supply Unit - a transformer in laymans' terms. All LED's need either constant voltage or constant current at very low voltages.
CAN I FIX MY LEDS TO DIMMER SWITCHES?
Yes, but you will require a dimmable PSU and an appropriate dimmer control usually 'trailing edge' type. This doesn't apply to all LED products so you should contact us to check.
WHAT ON EARTH IS RGB?
RGB means Red, Green, Blue and is a generic term for LEDs that are able to create a range of colours by mixing these colours just like an LED television does. ECOLED has your solution; from a simple off the shelf remote controller to advanced, fully customisable computer control systems.
I like to write articles about various things including LED Lighting.
