Background information on LEDs and their
impact on LED Lighting
The first practical
LED (Light Emitting Diode) was invented in 1962 by Nick Holonyak, and
Edith Flanigen. Until the 90's LEDs were fairly low power in terms of
light output and were only used primarily as status indicators in hifi,
tv's, and other electrical goods. Then around 1993 the World's first blue
LED was commercially developed by Professor Shuji Nakamura. Since that
breakthrough LED Technology has developed at a staggering pace, matching
or even rivalling that of the advance in computer technology.
By the turn
of 1999 all kinds of LED Lighting products were making use of the new
found applications for LEDs. Some of those products are many that we sell
on our website such as Flush Mount LEDs used in Deck and Step Lighting,
LED Screw Lights, LED Tubes and Bars, Marker Lights for Trucks and Trailers,
scanning lights, Grill lights, Tyre Lights, Ground Lighting, and Suspension
Lighting.
The first wave
of LEDs were super bright and ultra bright LEDs, then Lumileds released
their Luxeon range from 2001 onwards. This next generation of LEDs were
now being measured in 1 watt, 3 watt, and 5 watt upwards. There are other
LED technologies emerging on the market which far surpass general Halogens
and Incandescent Bulbs in terms of light output. The Litewave Company
in many aspects is on the frontline of the rapidly moving lighting market.
We have developed several product using very powerful LED Light sources,
one of which is the CoolFusion
jointly developed by Litewave and ICELED.
We have many
and varied LED products suitable for; model lighting, limo and limousine
lighting, motorbike lighting, backlighting, sign illumination, cabinet
and cupboard lighting, mood lighting, ambient lighting.
Many of the
LED products have found uses by PC Modders for illumination of their PCs,
vehicle owners lighting their cars, bikes, and even trucks with LEDs.
Not to be left behind home owners are now building LED Lighting systems
into their kitchens, lounges, bathrooms and bedrooms, and outdoors in
the garden. Many of our products are perfect for lighting such places.
The trend now
is for that spare room, basement or attic to be converted into a room
of relaxation, namely a home cinema or entertainments room. Our Glow Wire,
Superflux LED Modules, LED Bars, and Digital Lighting systems are ideally
suited in such situations giving the room the desired mood. We can assist
you, your electrician or project manager to provide the solutions to your
requirements.
LED Lighting
offers one massive advantage over traditional lighting - running costs.
LEDs use very little power and depending on whether they are powered through
in-line resistors or are properly current regulated can last between 10,000
and 100,000 hours respectively.
