LED Light Bulbs & Lamps
LED light bulbs are the most energy efficient technology available today, and the pace at which this product range is developing is truly amazing, our range of lamps & tubes is guaranteed to save you money on your electricity bills and they are also environmentally friendly.
The driver in dimmable LED lamps may work with many types of dimmer but not all, for instance LED lamps tend to work better with trailing-edge dimmers rather than leading-edge dimmers, but an existing dimmer may have a minimum load that is too high for an LED lamp, e.g. A 60W filament lamp may use a dimmer that has a minimum load of 25W the replacement LED has a power rating of 6.5W - below the level required by the dimmer.
Halogens typically sell for £1 or more each - equivalent LED spotlights are now available from as little as £2 each, BUT whereas a halogen will last for around 1,000 hours on average and consume 35 or 50 Watts typically, an LED spotlight producing the equivalent amount of light will last for up to 50,000 hours with a total power consumption of only 3 Watts - 50 times the lifetime and one tenth the power consumption!
Their super-efficiency means that, based on average electricity prices in the UK, savings across the long life span of these bulbs can hit more than £232.00. Many in this day and age are concerned about the environment, and this bulb can satisfy their environmental concerns as well as their budgets; the savings in electricity equate to an 80% reduction in overall energy output, reducing emissions and wasteful heat energy.
These LEDs do not emit any light in the UV or blue range which could be helpful to us. The spectral distribution charts do show a sharp high peak of intensity before 600nm (in the amber spectrum) and it is possible for some sufferers that a great intensity of light in any spectrum could cause problems, but this would need to be tested and it is certainly better than peaks in the blue spectrum found in most energy saving lighting.
