Amazing LED Lights If I said "My very eager mother just served us nine pizzas" or that "King Philip came over for great spaghetti" I don't suppose you would know what I was talking about. They are actually two very handy mnemonic devices, the former to help remember the names of the planets in our solar system, while the latter is used to recall the taxonomic order. One I think is perhaps more familiar will be sohcahtoa, which probably helped a lot of us with revising those tricky trigonometrically functions during our school math’s lessons. Quite simply, mnemonics are a great way of remembering things and there are plenty floating around. Everyone knows that LED stands for Light Emitting Diode, but here we believe it stands for a lot more. That is why we have been putting our heads together to devise a unique word game to help you remember why LEDs are so important. So, without further ado, we present the three rules of LED: L is for Long Lasting LED Lights have a far longer life span than traditional incandescent or halogen bulbs. They even outstrip energy efficient compact fluorescents for longevity, lasting anywhere between 30,000 and 50,000 hours, depending on what model you buy. Some of the newest LEDs, also known as SMDs, or Surface Mounted Devices, last more than 50,000 hours. E is for Energy Efficient LED Lights use about 90 per cent less energy than conventional forms of lighting. The ramifications of this are pretty self-evident. Not only do you stand to save an enormous amount on your electricity bills, but you will also be doing a huge favor to the environment. It is a good idea to keep your eyes peeled for data on incandescent equivalency, as these will tell you the wattage of the halogen-style bulb and LED is designed to replace. D is for Durability LED Lights are made from the high-quality materials, meaning that not only do they look incredibly stylish, but they are also very robust. This is one of the reasons that LED Lights have such impressive life spans, because of the quality of their components. The whorl shaped heat sink on some of our LED Lights also ensures that excess heat is dissipated towards the back of the unit, again guaranteeing a long life span from your bulb.
