Improve Your Lighting while saving energy!


Think LEDs!

Did you know that LED lamps not only save huge amounts of electricity, but last far longer than conventional lights too?

For example the latest 7 Watt Megaman mains voltage LED Reflector lamp produces the light equivalent of a traditional 35 Watt halogen spotlight. These lamps also have a rated life of around 20,000 hours, far exceeding both conventional (incandescent) and halogen lamps.

Based on over 10 years of research and development, these lamps are direct plug-in replacements for halogen spots in terms of both colour temperature and intensity, but with energy savings of up to 80%.They are available as direct replacements for GU10, Par 16, Par 20, Par 30 and AR111 type halogen lamps.

The average cost of ownership shows a payback in under 4000 hours operation, making a change from traditional halogen spotlights to LED Reflectors now very affordable and sensible for the environment.

The new Megaman range represents a major breakthrough in LED lighting, as it solves a number of key issues that have so far limited the take-up of these light sources in consumer applications. The result is that energy consumption and heat generation have been minimised, while maximising operational life and delivering three times more light output than other LEDs for the same wattage. I think these are going to be very popular replacements for halogen bulbs.
