SMD Lighting
By Mark Kinver Environment reporter, BBC News
A field trial of LED light fittings in social housing says the new technology can deliver huge energy savings, reduce costs and makes residents feel safer.
The study, carried out by the Energy Saving Trust (EST), measured the performance of more than 4,250 LED light fittings installed at 35 sites.
The EST said it carried out the trial because an increasing number of LED lights were now commercially available.
Surface Mounted Diodes (SMDs) are the new generation of LED lighting. They are three times brighter than the older LEDs and available in warm white, which means about the same colour light as your normal bulbs. Lovely. No more bluey lights which leave you feeling cold and miserable.
Increased performances (brightness), lower production costs and the availability of a variety of colors have led to the successful use of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) in replacing incandescent lamps found in architectural, commercial and industrial applications. Many users choose SMD to replace halogen light beacause led can save 70-90% power energy and have better lighting effect,one more,led is environmental protection products.
