LED lighting is a huge leap in technology which is going to benefit both our environment as well as your spending for household lighting.

Light Life: LED lights last up to 50 times longer than a standard Halogen light globe. At 45,000 hours you only need to change the globes once every 30 years.

Cost Saving: LED lights run on up to 90% less energy than standard halogen lights, and with up to 50% of a electricity bill comprising of lighting, that’s a huge saving over a year.

Efficiency: LEDs produce more light per watt than incandescent bulbs.

Safety: Halogen down-lights are a serious fire risk when not installed correctly and are thought to cause at least one house fire per week by igniting roof insulation. In contrast to most light sources, LEDs radiate very little heat
