LED lighting fixtures provide environmentally-friendly and energy-efficient sources of light for your project. At Wolfers Lighting, we get a lot of inquiries regarding which LED application is best. We can help you separate the fact from fiction when it comes to the truth about LED lighting.

Here is some information to help you better understand LEDs:

• LEDs have a long life, but like all light sources, they slowly fade over time.
• LEDs do not radiate infrared heat, only visible light. However, waste heat is produced during the conversion from electricity to light and may harm the LEDs if it is not properly removed from the lighting system.
• By any measure, illuminance or luminance, LEDs have enough light output for use in even very large outdoor daylight visible installations.
• The ROI for the use of LED lighting systems in an installation is surprisingly rapid when taking maintenance and energy cost savings into consideration.
