LEDs are becoming increasingly common in indoor and outdoor lighting applications due to their energy efficiency and cost savings compared to traditional lighting sources. LEDs can cut energy costs by 80-90% while providing high quality light and dynamic lighting effects. They are also more environmentally friendly as they reduce energy waste, costs, and carbon dioxide emissions. As LED technology continues to advance and prices decline, LEDs represent the future of lighting.

1. LEDs light the future

2. The Light of the future
• LEDs are the light of the future and the most innovative frontier of lighting, used in modern
context worldwide, therefore their use in growing in outdoor as well as indoor applications
due to:
• Increasing prices of electricity and other energy sources and general expectation they will
keep on raising
• Need of energy efficiency sources, that allow to cut costs and that can be managed
• Environmental consciousness that is leading costumers and companies to choose
environmental friendly solutions (portraying an image of green consciousness is becoming
more and more important )

3. LEDs reasons -why
 LEDs allow to cut costs and energy wastes up
to 80%-90%
 LEDs emit superior quality light
 LEDs integrate and exploit different
technologies up to ICT and can be remote
controlled
 LEDs allow to get impressive lights effects,
both static and dynamic
 LEDs use reduces energy waste, costs and
CO2 emissions

4. The future begins
• LEDs (Light Emitting Diode) are not just warning lights, they are the future lighting source
– LEDs are electronic devices able to emit light
– Light (photon emission) is generated by electric current
flowing between the poles of a semiconductor
– Light colour depends on the combination of phosphorus layers
overlapping the silicon junction which determines light
wavelength/frequency

5. Rise of LEDs
• LEDs have been around for almost five decades now, but it was only over the last 10-15 years
that they have made considerable progress in the field of lighting
LEDs technology evolution (1800-2000)

6. Think positive, think LED
• LEDs are a technology which is innovating lighting systems and generating benefits for
everybody:

14. 10 times more efficient
• One LED emits the same light of 11 traditional bulbs put together, since its luminous
efficacy (in lumen: light flow unit of measurement) is more than 10 times the one of
incandescent lamps Luminous efficacy

15. More light, less energy
• LEDs use allows to cut energy waste and costs thanks to their luminous efficacy and since they
require low energy consumption
• LEDs luminous efficacy can reach 80% while incandescent lamps reach just 20% since,
producing energy through a burning filament, 80% of their energy is wasted into heat

17. Long life span
• LEDs can be lit 24 hours for more than 5 years: they last 50 times incandescent and 12
times halogen lamps. LEDs superior resistance is due to the fact that they are free from
fragile materials (i.e. filament or glass wrapping)

18. More security, less maintenance
• LEDs use cuts systems maintenance costs and guarantees absolute security thanks to:
– Superior life span compared to traditional lamps
– Strength due to the lack of glass parts and filaments that wear out
with heat
– Resistance against impacts, shocks and vibrations
– Full security operation since they work with very low tension
– Tolerance to heat range (-40°C up to + 80°C)
– Focused maintenance thanks to remote control (industrial/logistic
applications)

19. Immediate light
• LEDs do not need additional circuits to turn on, therefore do not imply additional
costs as traditional lighting systems
• LEDs light has a colour equal to the face value immediately after being turned on
