Saving Energy with LED Lighting

Over the last couple of years we have seen LED technology applied in more and more situations: break lights, cross walks, traffic lights, and most recently for interior lighting.  Faraday Lighting Company now offers a range of products that will bring the advantages of LED light to conventional commercial applications.

White LEDs were invented not much more than ten years ago, and the technology continues to develop at a rapid pace.

LED lights are extremely efficient.  For the same lighting levels, LED fixtures consume around 50% of the power of equivalent fluorescent bulbs.  This would be one tenth of the power consumption compared to incandescent, and with far less heat.  Check out this comparison chart.  As you can see, not only is LED more efficient, it's also a cleaner technology that fluorescent lighting.

Faraday Lighting is a Canadian company that offers several LED lighting options for commercial building applications.  The format of the fixtures is not limited to bulb replacement.  LED lighting is also available in tube and flat panel formats that can be incorporated into existing ceiling configurations.
