APPLICATIONS

Lighting

The advantages of LED Lighting:

• Long life - lifetimes can exceed 100,000 hours, compared to 1,000 hours for incandescent bulbs
• Robustness - no moving parts, no glass
• Size - a typical package is only 5 mm in diameter
• Energy efficiency - as up to 90% less energy is used the amount of power required is correspondingly smaller
• Non-toxic - no mercury
• Versatility - available in a variety of colours
• Cool - less heat radiation than HID or incandescent bulbs

Water Purification

Light from UV LEDs can be used to kill bacteria. The sterilization of drinking water becomes both cheaper and more efficient when ultraviolet LEDs are used.
