Unlike the glass tube design of traditional fluorescent lamps, our lamps have nofilaments or fragile housings to break during operation. Instead of using a combinationof gases to produce light, light emitting diodes (LEDs) use semi-conductive materialsthat illuminate when electric current applied and emitting light. With LED lights, there isno warm up time or cool down time before re-striking and provide instant illuminationwhen powered on, adding to the reliability of LED technology. By nature, LED lightsources run significantly cooler than fuorescent lamps, reducing the chance ofaccidental burns and increased temperatures due to heat emissions. lt provides a morereliable, stable, durable, and energy efficient light source over traditional fluorescentlighting.
