Led Lights, the future of light

When I was a child, we use to had bulbs which emits yellow light, I used to think why they can’t make bulbs with white light, then white bulbs were available in markets.

Some important noticeable points for conventional bulbs are

· Very much heat generation

· Low life time

· Low output

· High power consumption

· Low efficiency

· Low cost

· Readily available

Variety of uses of Led Lights

·
Automobile lights

· Stage and dance floor lights

· Bike or Bicycle lights

· Led electric torches

· Domestic or home lighting

· Billboard or advertisement displays

· Decoration lightning

Powerful LED grow lights, Future of hydroponics have come!


A Plant Grow Light is actually an electric lamp designed to promote plant growth by emitting an electromagnetic spectrum suitable for photosynthesis. Now the fun fact is that the emitted light spectrum is very much like to that from the sun, helping indoor growth with outdoor conditions!

LED grow lights the new trend in hydroponic growing, with LED grow lights growing so quick in every industry it has hit the indoor growing scene as well. From one point of world to the other it seems like everyone has been discussing about these lights. With this technology rapidly changing, improving and advancing we are looking into a great future for indoor growing. LED grow lights have shown many advantages, such as energy saving and not heating up plants grow environment.

Hydroponics (is extracted from the Greek words hydro meaning (water) and ponos meaning (labor) it is a method of growing plants by using mineral nutrient solutions, usually without soil. Plants having roots can be grown with their roots in mineral solution only another way for that is by putting roots in an inert medium, such as mineral wool, gravel, perlit

Benefits of LED Grow Lights
o No ballasts or reflectors are needed!
o Can Decrease electricity costs up to 90%
o Light weight (everybody know this)
o Unbelievable Lifespan (50,000+ hours! Or 7.5 years)
o Very low heat generation by LEDs
o No reflectors
o Less environmental hazard. LED products contain no mercury at all
o Typical LED lifetime of 100,000 hours
o Power consumption from 9 watts - 125 watts available in the markets
o Lower burn and fire risk (that’s great)
o Focused light output
o No ballast required at all.

Some cool place to visit and to know these LED grow lights better visit them, these are actually led grow light manufacturers website but they have added a lot of information, have fun.

Thanks to LED Lights,We owe you

White-light LED home lighting systems offered great benefits for India's far-flung tribal villages.

These White LED lighting fixtures were powered by solar panels and having a huge impact on very poor villagers in the remote regions of India.

This technology was first time implemented in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh to provide low-cost, long-lasting, renewable energy home lighting systems for poor villagers.

Small solar panels, or even manual power, can be used to produce enough energy to keep these LED lights burning for hours in rural huts. Therefore enabling children to read and study, this will trim down the dependence on kerosene lanterns for lighting.

“LED Displays Having Strong Presence in Olympic Games Venues”


As the Beijing Olympics Games shoots up completion in the build-up to the event, which opens on August 8, 2008, LED products are the most prominent to observe. Due to increasing demand of LED products specially LED Display,many private AD business have started renting out their LED Displays.

It’s great to see that China's first high-definition system has been placed in the Beijing Olympic Basketball Gymnasium, for display scores and other info at the sport venue during the Olympic Games ,It is reported that the system, which is set up on Wednesday, is being checked vigorously for possible bugs and errors.

According to a reliable source from china the display system is specialty lies in its ability to capture intense, unique moments to be played-back on the big screen. With real-time synchronization, live information broadcasts, and space for advertising, the new system is promised to fulfill the needs of Olympic basketball and NBA competitions.
The system is composed of three parts: a ring screen, a point control system, and a "funnel screen," and this display is very light in weight only 22 ton

The led display system now installed at the Beijing Olympic Basketball Gymnasium and it’s the first set of complete displays in China that is able to meet the demands of the National Basketball Association (NBA). It can also be utilized for basketball games; the LED system is also capable of being used for theatrical performances, real-time broadcasts, and background imagery.

Are LED products better than Conventional Lightning, A comparable view

The most popular led products for automobiles are given below:

White led:


White Led always fancies me, because it looks so cool and they are very energy efficient and has tough life. White LED's are basically highly efficient blue LED with special materials mixed to create a high quality white light.

Another basic procedure of creating “high intensity white-light” using LEDs. I.e. is to use single LEDs that emit three basic colors – red, green, and blue, and then mix all the colours to generate white light.

Blue led:

It is noticed that in inner-city locations at night, blue LEDs have a tendency to stand out. One application of this light is that, it is used for police emergency phones in some college campuses ,But the usage of blue led is vanishing, now a days it is used for decoration purposes.

LED Signs:

LED Signs is a broad term it covers outdoor electronic signs, electronic signs, programmable moving message signs or scrolling signs, indoor LED displays or outdoor displays.
LED displays are usually programmable in several ways: locally by Infra-red, connecting directly to a PC via serial or USB ports.
LED sign boards can be controlled and display message can be changed from a centralized location, using a Computer running LED software (provided by the vendor); and data transmitter using any technology which the display board supports.

Luxeon led:

A Luxeon LED is a special Hi-Output LED; they differ in properties based upon their colors. These LEDs can get very hot and so heat sinking is required. Mostly this Xenon LED is provided with an aluminum printed circuit board which acts as a basic heat sink for it.
If I talk about Xenon LED types currently they are available in 1 Watt, 3 Watt, 5 Watt, and 7 Watt. Watt is a use to measure power consumption, it’s not the output.

Xenon led:

Xenon LEDs are bulbs which are filled with gas. These are small sized bulb filled with high pressure gas that increases the brightness up to 180% in most of our lights. The filaments are specially designed to resist high pressure gas.

Led flashlights:

Led flashlights are usually torches, which usually are portable; the number of leds in flashlight determines the brightness of the led flashlight, they can be battery operated or can be rechargeable.

LED Usage in Automobile:

The usage of led products in Automobile is increasing like fire in the wild, now just take a view of the usage of led in autos.

Automotive leds:

Automotive LEDs covers all the brad range of LEDs products used in automobiles. Also known as auto leds some people tend to use car led, but using this words restrict you to cars only!

The most popular led products for automobiles are given below:

LED Underglow:

These lights give a cool look to your car, led underglow lights are placed under the car; it lightens up the dark space under the car.

LED Taillights:

These LED lights are used at back of the car, and are rapidly replacing the old types of car backlights, why use LED Tailight,because it gives a vibrant looks to your car, it is attractive as compare to original car backlights!.

In the end, I must conclude that using led products generate less heat, reduces you electricity bills, are long lasting(having long usage life), and are tough & rigid.
