The Spectrum of Led Lighting

Pioneers in LED lighting and the Green Revolution, announced today that SavWatt has completed Eco-Pole installations at three New York sites….. SavWatt is leading the LED lighting revolution and setting the stage to obsolete the incandescent light bulb.” at once, comes to mind.

This clearly indicates the huge popularity and high dominance of LED lighting used as either indoor lighting or outdoor lighting. Let’s look at the spectrum of the major benefits of LED lighting over the traditional lighting - fluorescent bulbs, incandescent and halogen lamps.


Major Benefits Of Led Lighting


durability -longer life expectancy
cost effective – reduced power consumption
best choice in applications where high efficiency is important at low power levels
compact, which gives flexibility in designing lighting fixtures,
have no glass tubes to break, and their internal parts, are rigidly supported, making them resistant to vibration and impact
can be made dimmable over a wide range; there is no minimum current needed to sustain lamp operation
can emit a wide range of colors by changing the proportions of light generated in each primary color.
After NASA used it to grow plants in space, popular in gardening and agriculture came into use for home and commercial applications for indoor horticulture Supplies light in the spectral range needed for chlorophyllabsorption in plants, promoting growth while reducing wastage of energy by emitting minimal light at wavelengths that plants do not require. The red and blue wavelengths of the visible light spectrum are used for photosynthesis.


  • eco-friendly, helps battle global warming, helps environment
  • saves money
  • attractive appearance
  • no maintenance
  • reduced risk of fire
  • generates highly directed light



Applications : Traffic lights, flashlights, headlamps, solar-powered garden or walkway lights, and bicycle lights, Monochromatic (colored) LED lamps used for traffic signal lamp s, in strings of holiday light, automotive headlights in high end luxury cars, car dash boards, lighting at Airports, Railways, Casinos, Streets…to name just a few.

Although LED Lighting is initially expensive but in the long run, saves energy.

So, we can say that led lighting will soon replace every type of lighting that is currently in use.
