LED lighting is state-of-the-art technology that pays for itself in its energy efficiency, long life and a variety of inherent performance benefits. It is an intelligent, bright and seamless-coverage alternative to neon.
Intelligent, bright and seamless color coverage
Today’s LED lighting systems can utilize DMX interface and have the ability to create seamless columns of color and color-changing effects. LEDs can be acquired in popular monochromatic colors or RGB arrays that produce all colors of the spectrum without filters; they can also produce white light in a variety of color temperatures.
Immediate startup and flicker-free operation
LEDs have no startup delays, meaning they glow immediately, without flicker, even in cold climates and harsh environments. They turn on instantly even at extreme temperatures. They are ideal for applications subject to frequent on-off cycling.
Concentration of light and design versatility
LED lighting can be diffused or focused dependent upon their arrangement and specified primary and secondary lens options. This allows LED systems to be versatile in project design uses and to more effectively operate in environments inappropriate for neon lighting.
More power efficient
LED lighting is a low-voltage technology that is typically 50% more power efficient than neon lighting and consume much less power, making them less expensive to operate.
No ballast-related problems
LED lighting systems have no ballast to interfere with various transmission signals encountered in commercial, residential and public spaces. Ballasts are not only bulky, but failures raise maintenance costs.
Long lasting without maintenance
Neon, although less inexpensive for initial cost, have significant replacement costs over time. LED systems last 50,000 to100,000 hours – ten years of service.
Extreme temperature operation, durability and safety
LED lighting systems are more rugged and damage-resistant. They are proven under extremely harsh environments (LED outdoor signboards have been used in Las Vegas and challenging exterior weather conditions). Because LEDs have solid state components, they are difficult to damage with external shock. Neon tubes can be broken due to packaging, transportation or improper handling. LED lighting presents no arcing hazards. They are far safer in virtually every physical and operational aspect.
Extremely more environmentally friendly
LED Lighting is considered to be Earth-friendly, or “green” lighting. Neon lighting represents a significant amount of mercury in landfills and the potential for harmful exposure. And because the LED products last longer, there are fewer replacements to litter the environment.
