Lighting Technology for Cabinets, Case Goods, Displays and Furniture
LED (Light Emitting Diode) is the latest technology available in lighting today. An LED is a semiconductor that emits visible light when an electric current passes through. C.H. Briggs has teamed up with Hera Lighting to offer these tremendous benefits that come from LED's never before seen in the lighting area.
- Extremely long life - Hera uses only high quality LED's with a usable lifetime of at least 50,000 hours. This feature essentially eliminates bulb changes!
- Lower power consumption - LED lights require very little energy compared to incandescent or halogen bulbs, a feature everyone and our environment can appreciate!
- High efficiency - all Hera LEDs come from only manufacturing leaders in the industry. These LED's offer a light output of 60Im/W in comparison to halogen bulbs at approximately 22 Im/W.
- Virtually no heat - most power to an LED is converted to light so minimal heat is produced. LEDs are cool to the touch so they're ideal for illumination of heat sensitive applications such as retail store displays with food or cosmetics.
- No infrared or ultraviolet radiation - safe to illuminate sensitive products or collectibles without any risk of fading or damage from the LED source.
- Shatter proof - LEDs are built inside solid cases protecting them and making them extremely durable.
- Design versatility - Hera's extremely compact LED fixture designs make them very versatile and easy to work into various interior designs.
