Light emitting diodes (LEDs)
– Very efficient light production
– Wide selection standard ranges
– Can switched and dimmed required
– Very long service life
– Good very good colour rendering
– Very good production coloured light

Use: LEDs can used for both functional
and decorative lighting indoor and
outdoor locations.
Today, LEDs are already some the most
efficient light sources for general lighting.
