LED LIGHTING
When you compare them to other energy-saving lighting methods you will find that LED lighting is by far the most energy-efficient and smart solution. LED is also the most eco-friendly way of illumination basically digital light also known as SSL – Solid State lighting.
Production of LED lighting is increasing rapidly. This means that pricing for LED is quickly coming down and now is an excellent solution for commercial and domestic users. Whilst they do still cost more than incandescent lamps, over their life the energy savings make up for that many times over.
To get the best result of LED lighting we recommend replacing the old light fitting with new LED integrated lighting. This will give best use of increased lighting efficiency and longevity of light fitting. You will also benefit from the better insulation characteristics of new LED down lights as opposed to older style recessed down lights which have an air gap from room to ceiling space designed for heat dissipation.
