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. Nowadays, high-
quality white light produced blue LEDs
with yellow luminescent substances.
They are completely superseding traditional
light sources many applications.
