Answer:
LED is short for “light emitting diode” and refers to a semiconductor device that emits visible light when an electrical current passes through it.

Question:
Isn’t LED only good for flashlights and indicator lights?

Answer:
Not anymore. Advances in LED technology have made it possible for LED to replace virtually any traditional lightbulb and be used for almost any general lighting purpose. Luma Vue designs and manufacturers LED spotlights, floodlights, tube lighting and much more. Learn about all of our products.

Question:
Isn’t LED light of poorer quality?

Answer:
Again, not anymore. Luma Vue has developed LED lighting that is equal to and in many cases better than its fluorescent and incandescent counterparts in terms of color quality and light dispersal.

Question:
Isn’t LED expensive?

Answer:
While the initial cost is more than traditional lighting options, the annual and lifetime costs more than make up for the initial investment. When you work with Luma Vue, not only do you realize these lifetime savings, but you also benefit from our commitment to offering the best quality for the best value in the industry.

Question:
What are the advantages of LED?

Answer:
LEDs are cost-effective because they use much less energy than traditional options and they produce very little heat. They require less maintenance and they are highly durable. Finally, they contain no mercury and are therefore safer for your health and the environment. Learn more about the benefits of LED.

Question:
Are LED lights hard to install?

Answer:
No. Luma Vue has created a line of LED lighting products don’t require external ballasts and can be adapted to any existing electrical platform.

Question:
Are the lumens in traditional light sources the same as the lumens in LEDs?

Answer:
No. Comparing lumens between LEDs and traditional light sources won’t tell you how much brighter LEDs truly are. That’s because LEDs are highly directional and their lumens more concentrated, bringing more light to the intended area. Traditional light sources diffuse the light, so many of their lumens never actually make it to the place they’re supposed to illuminate.
