2 There has been a revolution in the development of Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology with precise applications, such as display back light, fiber-optics and, in particular, lighting driving demand and growth on fabrication plants. High volume manufacturing and semiconductor processes make LED manufacturing sensitive to power quality problems. The light-emitting diode (LED) is one of today's most energy-efficient and rapidly-developing lighting technologies. Quality LED light bulbs last longer, are more durable, and offer comparable or better light quality than other types of lighting. LED is a highly energy efficient lighting technology, and has the potential to fundamentally change the future of lighting in India. HOW LEDS ARE DIFFERENT LED lighting is very different from other lighting sources such as Halogen, Incandescent bulbs and CFLs. Key differences include the following: Light Source: LEDs are the size of a fleck of pepper, and a mix of red, green, and blue LEDs is typically used to make white light. Direction: LEDs emit light in a specific direction, reducing the need for reflectors and diffusers that can trap light. This feature makes LEDs more efficient for many uses such as recessed down lights and task lighting. With other types of lighting, the light must be reflected to the desired direction and more than half of the light may never leave the fixture. Heat: LEDs emit very little heat. In comparison, incandescent bulbs release 90% of their energy as heat and CFLs release about 80% of their energy as heat.

3 As our incandescent burn out, it s a good time to consider switching to bulbs. Replace the aging incandescent bulbs with an innovative and durable LED lighting product. These light bulbs have many advantages over the traditional incandescent and compact fluorescent bulbs. LED light bulbs don t contain mercury, like compact fluorescent bulbs do. Some of the distinguishing advantages and benefits of LED light bulbs include: 1. Longer Operational Life: Without a filament to break or burn out, arguably the best reason to switch to LEDs is their very long life expectancy that can be for over 100,000 hours on average without showing their age (that s over eleven years at full brightness). This lifespan is twice that of typical fluorescent bulbs and twenty times longer than incandescent light bulbs. 2. Energy efficiency: Tired of those high electrical bills? Installing LED bulbs in your home is an efficient way to reduce your power consumption and save money! LED lighting is designed to work at 80% energy efficiency. This means that 80% of the electrical energy taken in by an LED light is converted to light energy. The other 20% is released as heat energy. The exact opposite occurs with traditional incandescent bulbs (20% of the electrical energy taken in is converted to light energy, while the other 80% is released as heat energy). Furthermore, LED bulbs require fewer watts to operate. For example, a four-foot LED tube typically uses just watts, while fluorescent tubes of this size use more than 30 watts. 3. Safe to Use: No more burnt fingers when replacing these bulbs! LED light bulbs only release 20% heat energy, making them operate at lower temperatures. Using LED bulbs reduces the risk of a house fire because they have lower heat energy emissions. They are extremely durable thanks to their solid-state construction, so there s no broken glass to deal with, either. 4. More Colorful: Traditional lighting methods require many color filters to give off a certain hue. LED lights can emit the vast array of colors without the use of these filters, resulting in increased efficiency and lower production costs. They also provide a truer, brighter color than a filtered bulb. 5. Versatile use: LED light bulbs can fulfill an array of different purposes and functions. Thanks to the wide array of colors and shapes LEDs be made to replace most any light bulb. Furthermore, their size and power-saving characteristics allow them to be applied to new and innovative areas. Some common applications of LED light bulbs include: flashlights, exit signs, traffic lights and signals, remote control lights, Christmas lights, and more!

4 6. Promises a brighter future: LED light bulbs don t contain mercury, like compact fluorescent bulbs do. Combining that with the fact that they outlast their energy efficient cousins, makes the choice to go LED clear as day. They can also reach their full brightness in a matter of microseconds! Perfect for situation when reaction time and timeliness play a vital role, such as emergency situations. 7. Ease of installation & replacement with retro fit: Existing range of LED lighting solutions come with easy installation provisions. Lamps come with B22 regular pin type holder in India and E27 Threaded type holder outside India. Tubes like T5 come with clip mounted applications and conventional T8 series can be replaced with the new LED tube light by removing the adapter and choke and redirecting the circuit to one end of the tube. Down lighters and panel lights are easy to install by replacing the existing fixtures with the same cut out. 8. Wide range of product and solutions available for every application requirement: Homes bulbs and tube lights and cabinet lights Offices/ homes / showrooms / malls down lights and panel lights Specialty shops spot lights Industrial/warehouse/manufacturing plants high bay lights and batons Stadium/ façade flood lights Outdoor Street lights, bollards, fountain light, swimming pool light, wall light, wall washer, step light, garden lights, post top. 9. Easy to point in a direction: LED light bulbs are focused. They emit light in a specific direction. It is easy to use this directional light more effectively in various applications. LEDs can be made to focus without the use of extra reflectors or lenses, which means less bulk and lower cost for the same beam of light Issues with on/off cycling: The lifespan of a CFL is significantly reduced if the bulb is frequently turned on and off. Specifically, when tested on a 5- minute on/off cycle, the lifespan of some CFLs may be reduced to that of incandescent bulbs. Some have suggested that CFLs be left on to mitigate this problem, but this would be at the risk of losing energy savings. Alternatively, LED bulbs are not associated with any on/off cycling issues. As one of the most energy-efficient light bulbs on the market, LED lights are better for the environment because they reduce your carbon footprint and do not leach poisonous mercury into our water systems

5 LED PRODUCTS LED lighting is currently available in a wide variety of home and industrial products, and the list is growing every year. The rapid development of LED technology leads to more products and improved manufacturing efficiency, which also results in lower prices. Below are some of the most common types of LED products. LEDs consume far less electricity than incandescent bulbs and they also have the following advantages: Safer: LEDs are much cooler than incandescent lights, reducing the risk of combustion or burnt fingers. Sturdier: LEDs are made with epoxy lenses, not glass, and are much more resistant to breakage. Longer lasting: The same LED string could still be in use 40 holiday seasons from now. Easier to install: Up to 25 strings of LEDs can be connected end-to-end without overloading a wall socket. A developing Country like India has a huge energy deficit and with the number of appliances per home increasing, and growth of industry, this deficit can only expect to widen. One of the ways to light up your home or industrial premise, be environmentally friendly and also keep recurring monthly bills at bay is to leverage the tremendous yet untapped benefit of solar powered LED lights. Solar powered LED lights can be used both indoor and outdoor, they are water proof and an LED bulb can last for up to 50,000 hours or 11 continuous years. This makes the initial higher investment well worth it. LED lights operate at an efficiency of 90% as compared to incandescent bulbs which operate at 5% They are a great opportunity to reduce your dependence on the state energy grid Substantial reduced energy bills Low on maintenance, they have a lifespan of 50, 000 hours LED/Solar LED Lights are used in different applications Domestic Industrial/Commercial Street Lighting System Types of LED/Solar LED Lights for different applications: Tube light/bulb/down light/bay Light/Flood Light/Street Light

12 Financial Benefits of Solar Lighting Installing underground electrical for outdoor lighting equipment can cost more than the equipment itself. The most obvious costs are trenching, conduit and wire but, depending on the project, costs can quickly escalate beyond those basics. Additional costs can include: Transformers Switchgear Deflection / Expansion Couplers Hard Rock Trenching Soil Remediation Traffic Control Damage to other underground infrastructure Re-Paving and Re-Stripping Landscape repair The cost of Solar Lighting equipment is much greater than conventional lighting but installation costs are limited to footings and labour. When we consider the cost of the entire project, solar lighting has an immediate pay-back and savings on electricity are often enough to cover future maintenance costs (battery replacement). Tips for Maximizing Your Solar Lighting Savings Getting the most spacing between poles to meet your lighting goals can result in big savings on your overall project. Not only will you need to purchase and ship fewer systems, but you will need fewer footings and less installation time. Sometimes the lowest unit cost can result in a higher project cost. Advanced control technology will save you money on system sizing, battery life and maintenance costs. LED lighting has become the standard for the solar lighting industry. Fluorescent and HID fixtures are occasionally requested. - In this case, the hidden costs are poor efficacy and high maintenance costs. Pole selection will affect the cost of your project as well.
