OK,OK, maybe not your life, but…
They will save your business a lot of $$$!
LEDs require 2/3 less energy,
So you’ll save big $$$ on your
electric bill.
Light Emitting Diode
LED STANDS FOR
Light Emitting Diode
LED STANDS FOR
Diodes are semiconductors that produce visible
light when an electrical current passes through.
FLUORESCENT H.I.D.
HOW DO LEDs DIFFER FROM
• Fluorescents are glass tubes filled withargon gas & mercury vapor (mercury =toxic!!)
FLUORESCENT LAMPS
• Fluorescents are glass tubes filled with argon gas & mercury vapor (mercury = toxic!!)
FLUORESCENT LAMPS
• Electric current flows through the tube, which excites the gas, causing it to emit
UV light
• Fluorescents are glass tubes filled with argon gas & mercury vapor (mercury = toxic!!)
FLUORESCENT LAMPS
• Electric current flows through the tube, which excites the gas, causing it to emit
UV light • When the UV light strikes the phosphor
coating on the inside of the tube, visible light is produced
• HID lamps produce light via an electricalarc inside a tube filled with gasses andsalts.
HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE (HID)
• HID lamps produce light via an electrical arc inside a tube filled with gasses and salts.
HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE (HID)
• The gas helps to light the arc, which then heats up and melts the salts, creating very INTENSE light.

WHY MAKE THE SWITCH TO LED?
Energy Savings
LEDs use less electricity
to produce the same amount of light
as conventional bulbs.

Life Span
BULB AVG. LIFE SPAN
Fluorescent 20,000 - 30,000 hours
HID 10,000 - 24,000 hours
LED 50,000 hours
Life Span
BULB AVG. LIFE SPAN
Fluorescent 20,000 - 30,000 hours
HID 10,000 - 24,000 hours
LED 50,000 hours
At 10 hours/day, 6 days/week, an LED bulb would last approx. 16 years!
Maintenance & Repairs
Fluorescents & HIDs are powered by a ballast.
Ballasts fail (often) and are difficult to replace.

Fluorescents & HIDs are powered by a ballast.
LEDs use a driver to drive electricity to the diodes, which means no more
ballasts to change.

Ever.
Unlike fluorescent bulbs, LEDs are free of toxic mercury, making them easier
and cheaper to recycle.
Environmentally Friendly
Unlike fluorescent bulbs, LEDs are free of toxic mercury, making them easier
and cheaper to recycle.
And because they’re built to last, they don't need to be changed as often, which means less waste in the landfill.
Environmentally Friendly
LED light is closer to natural sunlight than fluorescent or HID.
Color Rendering
HID lights start off nice and bright..
Color Rendering
…but they degrade quickly and produce an orangey color as they age.
Color Rendering
Fluorescents produce very bright white light
And they tend to flicker with age

Have you ever switched on a fluorescent bulb only to see a tiny flicker of light?
Instant “ON”
Fluorescents can take awhile to warm up and it’s even worse on a cold day.

THERE’S NO WAITING WITH LEDs, AND THEY’RE DIMMABLE!
Instant “ON”
Fluorescents can take awhile to warm up and it’s even worse on a cold day.
Fluorescent & HID bulbs emit light in all directions, which causes light pollution.
Directional Light Source
Fluorescent & HID bulbs emit light in all directions, which causes light pollution.
The directional nature of LEDs prevents light from leaking into neighboring properties and lighting up the sky.

Because the diodes are so small, they can be arranged to create many different types of fixtures without sacrificing efficiency.
Flexibility of Design
Because the diodes are so small, they can be arranged to create many different types of fixtures without sacrificing efficiency.
LEDs come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, styles and brightness levels to suit any need.
Flexibility of Design
Incentives
There are MANY federal and utility-funded incentives available for LED lighting upgrades.
When you combine the electricity savings and reduced maintenance costs
with the rebates and tax incentives…
THE PAYBACK WILL AMAZE YOU!
