Technology is changing lives at a pace never before witnessed in all of human history, and with it, the way we see the world. More than a hundred years ago the incandescent filament brought illumination to the night, multiplying human productivity at an exponential rate. Later, fluorescent light rose up as a power-saving alternative to the incandescent.

And now there is a new source of light, once again on the cusp of transformational change - OPTILED has seen the future, and it will no doubt be lit by Light Emitting Diodes, more commonly known as LED. A low-power, high-efficiency technology created with non-toxic materials, LED lamps are the next generation of lighting, leading the way into the green age of illumination. Because LED lighting by OPTILED is safe, long-lasting and increasingly cost-effective, it will play an important role in creating a more environmentally sustainable future for many years to come.

OPTILED has touted the benefits of LED since long before it became cool to do so and continues to work hard to change perceptions of LED technology. LED is no longer just a niche product, and we have the expertise, technical knowhow, R&D and the people needed to create the best general functional LED lighting solutions on the market.

There are a number of important reasons why OPTILED LED lighting is better than other lighting technologies :

Longer life spans :OPTILED LED lamps last 35,000 hours - 30 times longer than incandescent, 25 times longer than halogen and 10 times longer than compact fluorescent lamps. Not only will you be helping the environment, you'll be saving money, too.

High Efficiency :Saves users up to 70% on energy usage compared to standard dichroic low-wattage halogen and incandescent lamps, lowering electricity bills. An 5W LED MR16 bulb generates as much light as an 9W CFL, an 35W halogen, and 80% energy saving compared to CFL downlight - A 15W LED downlight generates as much light as a 2x13W CFL downlight and 75W incandescent bulb. Energy usage translates directly into significant cost savings, especially in commercial applications where large quantities of lamps are used.

Green lighting technology :Lower energy usage makes LED lighting better for the environment, but it's a very green technology in other ways as well. Since no heat is produced, it can reduce interior temperatures by 1-2 degrees, lowering air-conditioning costs and CO2 emissions. LED lighting is also much safer for the environment because it is mercury-free and doesn't produce IR or UV rays, which can be harmful to humans. In other words, LED lamps are the greenest and most environmentally-friendly source of light on the market.

Superior color, increased comfort :Clear light and high marks on the Color Rendering Index (CRI), which indicates accurate true color reproduction, means LED lights produce light that is more pleasing and relaxing, increasing comfort and mood.
