Unveiling the Bright Future
What are LEDs?
LEDs are solid-state lights that use light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as the source of light. LEDs are semiconductors that glow when electricity is applied and have been used commercially for over 50 years. LEDs convert almost all the electricity used into the light output, making them a highly efficient light source. With minimal heat generated, LEDs are safe to the touch and do not produce any harmful UV rays. We have done the research to find the highest quality LEDs, so you get the peace of mind that your new LEDs will have the brightest light and longest life expectancy, which increases your return on investment.
What are the benefits of LEDs?
There are many benefits for installing LEDs, including:
- Saves you money by decreasing your power bill – up to 90% less energy consumption
- Instant light
- Long lasting – life expectancy of up to 70,000 hours
- Low fire hazard – operates at a low temperature
- Dimmable
- Easy to install
- No hazardous waste
- Mechanically robust
How much money can I save with LEDs?
The savings you get comes directly from the amount of electricity you do NOT use when LEDs are installed in your home or office. The amount of money you save can vary depending on the number of lights you replace, but you can expect anywhere from a 60% (i.e. CFL replacement) to 80% (i.e. halogen replacement) energy savings in lighting.
What is the life expectancy of LEDs?
LED life expectancy can range from 30,000 to 70,000 hours. Our LEDs have a life expectancy of 70,000+ hours. Again, quality is the key. Our LEDs are consistently awarded the best LED light technology in Australia.
What is the warranty on our LEDs?
All of the products that Emotive Earth retail range between a 1 Year and a 5 Year warranty.
Are LED lights as bright as halogen lights?
Yes, you will be pleasantly surprised when you see the brightness of our LEDs. We consistently receive feedback customers saying that our LEDs are brighter than their old halogens.
How do you install LEDs?
In all instances we recommend using a licensed electrician to install all lighting. The exception being where you have a plug in the ceiling and are simply changing out a replacement driver or luminaire.
What is a lumen?
A lumen is a unit of measurement that is used to express how much illumination a light source provides. The lumen can be thought of casually as a measure of the total amount of visible light emitted. So, as the amount of lumens increases the brighter the light.
What is lux?
Lux is a measurement of the light intensity falling on a surface. This measurement determines the brightness of a light in a space and is dictated by the Australian standards. Lux meters are available to determine lighting levels and evaluate the energy efficiency of lighting designs.
What are the different light colours of LEDs?
LEDs can illuminate in any colour as seen in billboards and other illuminated advertisements. However, for the home and office it is normal to classify the light as ‘warm’ or ‘cool’ light. Normally, the lower the colour temperature the warmer the light appears and vice versa. The colour temperature, expressed in Kelvin scale (K), generally ranges between 3000K (warm white light), 4000K (Neutral white light) and 5000K (cool white light).
