Philips LED – Higher Performance

LED lights were initially used as indicator lights in electronic devices. However, the use of LEDs evolved over the years. In the present day, many homes and businesses use LEDs as a light source to illuminate rooms and make them more appealing with general and accent lights. Philips introduced LED lighting to bring “Sense and Simplicity” to our lighting requirements. Its highly efficient, eco-friendly, long lasting and controllable lighting is ideal for replacing traditional and energy inefficient lighting. Although LEDs are widely used in buildings, restaurants, hotels, and retail shops, these lights are also great for domestic and office use.

In an incandescent light source, the tungsten filament is heated by the electric current to produce light. Only 10% of this energy input is emitted in the form of light output; the balance (90%) is emitted as heat, making them very efficient room heaters, but poor light emitters!. On the other hand, LEDs use semiconductor technology to produce light with the help of a diode that allows the electric current to pass through the semiconductor. Thus, up to 90% of the energy input is saved due to less heat emissions from the diode light source. LED lamps perform with the help of optical, electrical, mechanical and thermal LED components. LED performance parameters to consider are the brightness output and efficacy, colour temperature and consistency, rated lifetime, and light distribution, and colour rendering index.

Philips LEDs are generally more efficient than other manufacturers, since they utilise high quality chips and robust lamp designs with quality heat sinks. These light sources offer high levels of brightness and intensity, low energy consumption, less heat emission, shock and flicker resistance, no UV emissions, long life, easy controllability, and high performance. Novel Energy Lighting only stocks and sells the best LED products in the market, and strongly recommends Philips LED as the preferred solution for lighting projects.
