Decorative Lighting Applications:

LED lighting products are made in an extensive range of sizes. They are easily adaptable into flexible led strip lights, as well as flood lights. Their range of colours can be used in various lighting applications to create a colourful environment that can completely transform a standard room or garden into something very impressive.

LED Back Lighting and Up Lighting:

LED flood lights, inground up lights and LED wall washers installed to shine onto various surfaces can create a wide range of different and spectacular effects on buildings, walls, in stadiums and on commercial displays.

Strip Lighting:

LED strip lights can be hidden in coves, used under glass shelves, within bottle racks or used to light kitchen bench tops. Strip lights can be strategically placed to create lengths of light in single or various colours. Outstanding and spectacular effects can be created with LED strip lighting, even more so with the introduction of RGB controllers or DMX controllers. They give endless variations of colours and patterns.

LED Fluorescent Replacements:

LED fluorescent tubes are an excellent alternative to standard fluoro tubes, especially in environments such as car parks, offices, warehouses or anywhere there are a large number of fluorescent lamps. Using LED fluoro lamps can significantly save power and maintenance costs, and can even be used within busses, due to their ability to resist high vibration levels.

LED Downlights:

LED downlights are the best choice to replace standard halogen downlights because they consume only 1/5th of the power of standard halogens. They are also much safer to use due to their heat dissipation being extremely low. LED downlights are capable of light outputs equivalent to conventional lighting methods and can be used in a range of lighting applications such as general household room lighting, convention rooms, hotels, offices and cabinet display lighting.

LED Garden Lighting:

As LED garden lights come in a wide range of lighting styles, creating the perfect lighting style and colour in your garden is made extremely easy, plus there are endless colours and effects that can be created with the use of LED controllers. General LED outdoor lighting products used in gardens range from weatherproof strip lights, inground LED uplighters, LED flood lights, LED light modules and weatherproof LED wall washers. All of these products can be used in conjunction with LED RGB controllers for more effective and decorative outdoor garden lighting. Outdoor LED lighting products can be used to light the trunk of a tree, pathways or steps, can be mounted within trees to light the foliage, light water in a fountain, highlight features of a house or light up fences and walls.

LED Flood Lighting, Street Lighting and High Bay Lighting:

Using LED lighting products for flood lighting and street lighting is ideal because of their long life and because they do not need to be replaced as often as conventional lamps. This is a great advantage to LED street lights in particular, as they usually need expensive equipment to reach the pole mounted light fittings. As LED lights are able to produce an ultra white light. This is a brighter, more useful light for outdoor lighting, and when compared to the conventional lighting that produces an orange light, is far superior.

Using LED high bay lighting in warehouses can reduce the power and maintenance costs by half, making it an excellent alternative to conventional discharge lighting products.
