LED Signs: 101
Advantages of LED Lighting
What is an LED?
Light emitting diodes (LED) are special diodes that emit light when illuminated by the movement of electrons in the semi-conductor chips.
LED technology is quickly becoming tomorrow's primary light source and has several advantages over conventional light sources:
~ LEDs for sign illumination are rated for continual use for up to 100,000 hours.
~ LEDs radiate a "cold light", meaning they generate very little heat compared with other lighting technologies. This also means less wasted energy.
~ LEDs are energy efficient meaning they consume less energy to produce brighter illuminated displays that creates much greater readability and flexibility of use than traditional signs and billboards.
~ LEDs are manufactured in a full range of colors and with appropriate mixing schemes can generate billions of colors.
~ LEDs are continually decreasing in price, making LED displays extremely affordable.
