Decorative Lighting Applications:

LED lighting products are made in an extensive range of sizes. They are easily adaptable into flexible 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, in-ground up lights and 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 strips 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 these, 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 these can significantly save power and maintenance costs, and can even be used within buses, due to their ability to resist high vibration levels.

Downlights:

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

Garden Lighting:

As LED garden lights come in a wide range of 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 controllers. Outdoor LED garden lights include weatherproof strip lights, inground uplighters, flood lights, LED light modules and weatherproof wall washers. All of these products can be used in conjunction with LED RGB controllers for more effective and decorative outdoor garden lighting. You could use them to light the trunk of a tree, a pathway or steps, you can be mount them within trees to light the foliage, light water in a fountain, highlight features of a house, fences or walls.

Flood Lights, Street and High Bay Lighting:

Using LED lighting products for streets and flood 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 street lights in particular, as they usually need expensive equipment to reach the pole mounted light fittings. LED lights are able to produce an ultra white light which is brighter and more useful for the outdoors when compared to the conventional lighting that produces an duller,orange light.

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.
