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

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.

Are LED products better than Conventional Lightning, A comparable view

2008-08-05T01:20:00.000-07:00

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:

What is LED? Simple Clear Cut Definition of LED and its type’s u must know!

2008-07-25T21:52:00.000-07:00

I will not repeat the old technical boring definition instead I will try to simplify LED definition, LED is an abbreviation which stands for “Light Emitting Diode”,Pronounced as L-E-D, Let’s take a dissection of LED word.

A display technology that utilizes a semiconductor diode that emits light when charged. Now what is a Diode?

Light consists of basic particles called photons (tiny particles of light).
Emit means to send out or give off.

Diode is a semiconductor device that converts alternating current to direct current.

Simple Types of LED

Multicolor LEDs

A “Multicolor LEDs” is two different LEDs in one case, connected in the same case but in opposite directions. Current flows in one direction produces one color, and current in the other direction produces another color. The switching of two colors with sufficient frequency causes the appearance of a third color.

5 Volt LEDs 12 Volt LEDs

These are LEDs using a series resistor, and can be connected to a 5 V or 12 V supply.

Flash LEDs

Flashing lights are a continuous on-and-off cycle, which repeats. The light does not stay “ON” as long as it stays “OFF”, but each “ON” period is as long as any other “ON” period and each “OFF” period match all other “OFF” periods.

Color LEDs by usage

Colored LEDs looks so beautiful and attractive that it catches you eyes, and it used for specific purposes

White LED promotes purity, cleanliness, and neutrality. It gives a wide look if you use it for interior decoration.

Blue LED is the overwhelming favorite, it’s the color of sky and the ocean, it is perceived as a constant in our lives.

Green LED covers more space in the spectrum visible to the human naked eye and is second to blue as a favorite color. Green promotes natural environment, it is widely used in gardens decoration and

The application of LEDs is from home decoration to offices to industries, you name it is replacing every lighting technology.

Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About LEDs

2008-07-22T20:36:00.000-07:00

The LED industry is a growing industry; the LED (Light Emitting Diode) has proven itself to be an effective substitute for traditional bulbs. The main production and consumption of LEDs are in the USA, Europe, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, China and South East Asia.

The application of High Brightness LEDs are in Illumination LEDs, LED Signals, Automotive LEDs, Mobile appliances LEDs, LED Strips, LED Signs and LED Displays.

The use of High Brightness LEDs for the purpose of lighting is fastest growing application. The market of LED lights in itself is highly fragmented, and it encompasses particularly niche applications. The 2006 market for High Brightness LEDs used in lighting was determined to be around USD $ 205 Million. In the market applications of LED for lighting purposes; the architectural is growing at the highest rate (37%). The LED market for lighting purposes is expected to increase to USD $ 1 Billion in 2011. Although majority of the LED applications are using RGB, it is expected that the White LED will comprise of 60% of the complete market in 2011.

The main features which have been in favor of LED applications or Solid State Lighting (SSL) has been its Visual Appeal, Long lifetime, lack of heat radiation, low-voltage operations. It is expected that in then near future, the LED will be an integral component of the following applications: architectural, portable consumer products, Residential, Retail Display, Entertainment, Solar powered Solutions.

The major success story has been the adoption of Wal-Mart of LED refrigerated display case lighting; this is part of Wall-Marts “green strategy”. The main feature has been the energy and maintenance savings, the display cases are intelligent enough to turn dim, in periods of low traffic. Due to this other superstores are likely to follow this strategy of Wal-Mart hence increasing the importance of SSL and subsequently the LED.

The challenges for LED include, the high initial cost, alternatives which may provide such efficiency, ease of installation and development of LED standards.

It will be essential that substantial marketing is carried out in order to penetrate the conventional market and for that reason penetration has to proceed gradually from application to application.
