In the grand scheme of things, LEDs are still a relatively new technology. Having emerged on the market just a few years ago, it’s only natural that things like the construction and efficiency evolve and improve over time.
That’s exactly what has happened with the introduction of SMD LED.
They’re used in a wide range of applications including computer motherboards because they are so much simpler, and therefore quicker and e… Read more

Whenever you go to buy any kind of light bulb, the number of watts that the bulb uses is usually the first thing you look at, as an indicator of how bright it is.
Everyone does this...but it’s also wrong too.
Whether you’re buying a 60 watt halogen or a 100 watt halogen, understanding what these numbers mean is vital to choosing the correct lighting.
However, energy saving, low wattage LED bulbs are changing the way we think… Read more

It’s all well and good using LED lights. More and more people are making the switch to LED lighting and taking advantage of the energy savings, longer lifespan and environmental benefits.We all know about these things, but how does an LED actually work?LEDs are a type of light source that do not rely on filaments, and unlike traditional light bulbs, can plug directly into an electrical circuit. It does this using a nitrous-based semiconductor mat… Read more

If you’re planning on running your home on solar energy it’s a good idea to upgrade your lighting to energy efficient LED at the same time.Rooftop mounted solar panels are designed to provide homes with lots of free electricity by storing energy from the sun’s rays. Any extra electricity that isn’t used is automatically sold back to the National Grid for a ‘feed-in-tariff’ of 41.3 pence per kWh of energy. The less energy you use the more you will… Read more
