General Info

WHAT IS LED ?

LED means : light emitting diode

Basically, LED is just a tiny light bulb. But unlike ordinary incandescent bulbs They don't have a filament that will burn out, and don't get especially hot. They are illuminated solely by the movement of electrons in a semi conductor material due to the passage of low current.

EFFICIENCY

LED use 80% of the electrical energy consumed to generate light energy ,the remaining 20% is lost as heat .Traditional incandescent light transform 20% of electrical energy in light energy and 80% of the electrical power is lost as heat, which mean that LED is 80% more efficient than conventional lighting and 80% more economical.

ADVANTAGES:

Energy saving, low power consumption, extended life span, no maintenance no heat production, no UV, no infrared, no mercury, no lead.

LIFE SPAN IN HOURS (comparison table)

LED	INCANDESCENT	HALOGENE	FLUORESCENT	SODIUM	MERCURY	METAL HALOGENE
50,000	1,500	2,000	12,000	16,000	1,8000	8,000
» 50,000 hours equal to 14 years at 12 hours per day

Today, new technologies have allowed the development of high intensity LEDs that can easily compete with traditional lighting for streets, parking lots, gardens and outdoor entertainment.

Abyss, after being a very successful company in specialty underwater LED lighting, is using its expertise to develop and promote outdoor LED lighting of high intensity.
