Why Energy Saving LED Light Solutions?

 

Energy Efficient

LED's energy saving advantage will pay for itself. When compared to other lighting application such as fluorescent and neon lighting systems, LEDs are 90% more energy efficient than fluorescent lighting and 80% more energy efficient than neon lighting. The bottom line is that the longer the LEDs operate, the more money LEDs will save over the fluorescent and neon lighting.

Cost Analysis Neon VS LED Neon Flex

Electricity Consumption
Based on Power Calculations for 300 feet of installation.
Usage for 12 Hours Per Day, 365 Days Per Year, at 10.6 cents per kWh (Avg. NS Residential Rate). 28% of green house gasses are produced by electricity consumption in Canada, upgrade now and take part in Canada's One-Tonne Challenge.

Maintenance Consumption
Based on 300 feet of Building Lighting over a Ten Year Period of Time.
Life of Ballasts = 4 Years
Life of Neon Tubes = 5 Years
Life of Fiber Optic Bulb 10,000 hours = 2.3 Years
Life of LED 100,000 hours - 1/2 Life = 11 Years

Durability

LEDs are rugged, solid state devices. They can be shipped anywhere without special packaging, therefore eliminating the risk of damage during transportation. On the other hand, neon and fluorescent are very fragile and require special care and packaging during transportation.

Color

LED lights are offered in Red, Green, Blue and Amber base colors. These colors are far more efficient than incandescent bulbs, which use filters to block out most of the spectrum of white light. LEDs create light in the specific color desired. LEDs can also be blended together to form virtually any color.

Low temperature operation

LEDs are based on semiconductor technology. Like other semiconductors, their temperature must be regulated to enable long life. While they are warm to the touch, the temperature is too low to burn an individual’s hand. This greatly increases the safety of the light over incandescent and halogens, both as a fire hazard and for burning an individual when touching it.

Longevity

LED has the longest operating life expectancy than any other currently available lighting technology in the world. It also has a 99% reliability factor which means 99% of the LEDs will last over 27 years when operating at 10 hours per day year round. The chances are you will change your sign before you change the LEDs.

Maintenance Free Operation

No routine maintenance is required to ensure continued performance, so reducing costs and avoiding the possibility of missed maintenance.

Environmental Benefits

Lamp disposal problems are eliminated due to the long life of a LED, and no resources are used in routine maintenance.

Ease of Installation

A well-engineered LED system can be installed by anyone who has basic mechanical or electrical experience. Unlike neon or fluorescent system, which require highly trained technician or specialist to install them.

Extreme Weather & Waterproof

LED Flex Light's are waterproof and can be submerge under water. LED also has proven to be used under extremely harsh environments. For many years, LED outdoor signboards have been used under high temperature environment such as Las Vegas and extreme low temperature such as Alaska. In addition, LEDs can operate at 12 low voltage DC systems that reduce fire and shock hazards significantly.

Every LED Flex Light is backed by a 2 year limited warranty*. Free from defects in material and workmanship from the date of manufacture.


What Do LEDs Offer to the End User?

  • Exceptional Savings
  • Unsurpassed Life Expectancy
  • Unequalled Durability
  • Incomparable Simplicity
  • Unprecedented Safety
  • State of the Art Lighting Technology that Pays for Itself.
