LED lighting
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are a solid-state light source that has unique properties that make it ideal for efficient and solar powered lighting applications. Although most people think of LEDs as indicator lighting, one type of LEDs is specifically designed for general illumination applications.
As the technology has become more robust, reliable and efficient, LED lighting is becoming more commonplace in everyday life. LEDs for illumination, when properly integrated into a light fixture, or luminaire, should achieve over 80 lumens per watt of efficiency (7x more efficient than a light bulb) and a life of over 60,000 hours (> 12 years). The technology means that in more and more applications the light source lasts as long as the light fixture!
Sol exclusively uses LEDs as the source for illumination in our street, parking lot and area lighting systems. The reason for using LED lies in the basic physics of the device. LEDs:
