INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCING

HOW LED WORKS

Light Emitting Diode or LED as it is more commonly known, is effectively a semiconductor light source - a diode, which emits light across a particular wavelength
that results in very high brightness. When the LED is switched on, electrons are
able to recombine within the particular device, releasing energy in the form of
photons. This effect is known as electroluminescence.

Solid State Lighting or SSL is a type

of lighting that uses LEDs among
other forms as sources of illumination. The term SSL refers to light
emitted by solid-state electroluminescence rather than incandescent
bulbs, which use thermal radiation.
SSL is used in a number of everyday
situations such as for street lighting,
traffic lights and contemporary vehicle lighting.

LED
BENEFITS

Compared to traditional lighting, LED lights have many more benefits than traditional
forms of lighting such as incandescent bulbs, not least in terms of performance,
energy efficiency and environmental impact. LED technology not only reduces electricity bills, but also delivers longer service without the impact of maintenance and
replacement labor and costs.

Efficient by nature
As stated, LED products are efficient by nature and this efficiency is typically categorized
as efficacy. Put simply, this means the ratio of power input to light output. Or, for those
more technically minded, emitted flux (lumens) divided by power draw (watts). For real
lighting fixtures, other factors also play a part in reducing efficacy such as the performance of the control gear, depreciation of the luminous flux with increasing junction
temperature and optical loss. Overall though, the efficacy of LED technology is improving
rapidly as Fig 2 ably demonstrates.

LED
BENEFITS

Keeping under control

Small can be better

LEDs are significantly smaller in size than conventional lighting and this enables lighting
to be designed with greater flexibility and innovation.
Fig. 3:
Mechanical size comparison of various
light sources. LEDs are significantly smaller than all other light sources.

LEDs allow for control of color balance and intensity providing independent illuminance
with the capacity to remain faithful to a high color rendering ability. In simple terms, it
means that objects of color depend on light, with natural daylight being the optimum
way of judging what an objects true color is and LEDs ensure that objects are more
accurately reflected in comparison to natural daylight than with traditional lighting.

Fig. 6: Train Bridge.

The right direction

Traditional lighting emits light in an omnidirectional form, that is to say it is indiscriminate in terms of direction, whereas LED lighting is much more efficient and directed
with its focus - this is somewhat due to the fact that light can only escape an LED at
very tight angles in the shape of a cone. This simplifies the optical parts and makes the
lighting more efficient in addition to enabling more shape-dependent lighting.

Fig. 6: Oil Rig.

Tough and long lasting

Unlike traditional forms of lighting, LEDs are more robust. Whereas traditional technologies have a filament or fragile glass components, LEDs have none of these parts, are
difficult to damage through eternal shock and thus are more relevant and useful for
industrial applications such as street lighting, sports stadia and hazardous area lighting
requirements.

Fig. 4:
Unlike traditional light sources which emits
light omnidirectional, LED light source
emits most of light in certain cone angle,
what simplifies optical parts thus improves
lighting fixture efficiency.

LED
BENEFITS

Instantly brighter

Less pollution

LED lights reach full brightness instantly with no delay, something that has genuine relevance in terms of
industrial safety applications. Moreover, the LED lifespan and lumen maintenance remains unaffected despite frequent switching.

LED lighting creates and thus wastes very little heat, instead producing a cool light, it
also gives off minimal UV emissions and no deep UV radiation in comparison to others
forms of lighting or IR emissions, even having medical benefits being suitable for those
with photosensitive skin. Furthermore, it produces just 10% of the CO2 emissions of
incandescent bulbs and given it contains no filaments to burn out; it simply becomes
dimmer over time.
Fig. 8

Fig. 9:
LED luminaires are attractive for illumination of delicate objects such as artworks as well as materials subject to UV degradation.

Easy on the planet

Using less energy to manufacture, with a longer average life span for LED light bulbs
of around 50,000 hours, very little need for maintenance and less landfill, LED lighting
really is the smart energy source. Furthermore, unlike CFLs, LED lighting components
contain no mercury or phosphorous and are less likely to break.

Keeping things cool

While fluorescent lighting needs high voltage to operate
and in low temperatures often leads to reduced light output and efficacy, LED lighting performance is excellent
for cold storage facilities, surgery theaters and outdoor
lighting.

Revolution

LEADING THE
LED REVOLUTION
Lighting the way

When it comes to lighting,

is at the forefront of developments. At the heart of this
progress is LED lighting, increasingly known as the smart energy solution for the 21st
century.

So what is an LED?

Simply put, an LED is an electronic device that lights up when electricity passes through
it. LEDs are used both indoors and outside for a variety of purposes. This smart lighting is far more efficient than traditional incandescent lighting and an improvement on
previous compact fluorescent lighting (CFL), providing greater luminous efficacy i.e.
how well a light source produces visible light.

Thermal management

Temperature can be a critical factor affecting the light output of an LED. Generally
speaking, the cooler the environment the higher an LEDs light output. Thus, effective
thermal management is critical for efficient operation of all lighting and indeed prolonged heat can actually shorten the lifespan of many LED systems.

APPLICATIONS

The In.LIGHT LED Lighting Solutions

Any lighting system needs to be fit for purpose. That is, it should ensure a safe environment, deliver visual comfort, enable visual tasks to be performed, improve working
conditions and display objects as required. Hence lighting should be balanced appropriately in relation to space and needs taking into consideration color temperature,
direction and energy efficiency. Each factor needs to be carefully considered depending on the respective environment.

APPLICATIONS

Retail shops and malls

For retail shops and shopping malls, the fundamental drivers are to attract consumers,
enable products to be seen and assessed and ensure an accurate completion of the
sale of goods, whether its through advertising screens, videos or the final spotlight on
the product or indeed price. In addition to this, shops and malls use vast amounts of
energy, which is unsurprising when they have to illuminate large areas within the shop
and frequently traditional track luminaires are present and continuously switched on.
Thus, replacement by
LED alternatives can save huge amounts of both money and
energy. Typically LED lighting with a high color rendering values (greater than 90) is appropriate in order to show an objects true colors. RGB LED enables retailers to create
dynamic lighting effects to create emotion and impact and this lighting can be customized through different settings for different occasions unlike traditional light sources.

Ensuring safety and security in public spaces is paramount. Hence, LED lighting can
deliver solutions to ensure such. Beyond this, it can create an enjoyable urban atmosphere supporting planners and architects to deliver attractive solutions while complying with regulations and making the streets safer. LEDs provide a more uniform illuminance of a street with high color rendering that increases visibility at night ensuring
drivers can see more clearly and thus have more time to react.
Moreover, LEDs can even help surveillance cameras to identify security issues. In terms
of saving energy, LED lighting is around 50% cheaper in terms of maintenance costs
than conventional lighting and further reductions can be made through controllability
switches such as dimmers. Furthermore, electricity consumption, CO2 emissions and
light pollution can all be significantly reduced, making LED solutions the sustainable
path for the future.
