Why LED Lights in Bird Cages?

There are daylight fluorescent tubes on the ceiling, they are switched on.
The cage is at mid-height 

LED Light modules.
There’s no heat from these lights and they are

Light Emitting Diodes (LED)

BENEFITS OF LED LIGHTs


1.
 Long Life


Long life time stands out as the number one benefit of LED lights. LED bulbs and diodes have an outstanding operational life time expectation of up to 100.000 hours. This is 11 years of continuous operation, or 22 years of 50% operation. If you leave on the LED fixture for 8 hours per day it would take around 20 years before you’d have to replace the LED bulb.

LED’s are different to standard lighting: They don’t really burn out and stop working like a standard light, moreover the lighting diodes emit lower output levels over a very long period of time and become less bright.

2. Energy Efficiency

LED lights are the most efficient way of illumination and lighting, with an estimated energy efficiency of 80%-90% when compared to traditional lighting and conventional light bulbs. This means that about 80% of the electrical energy is converted to light, while 20% is lost and converted into other forms of energy such as heat. 
LED lights are warm to touch and won’t heat the space they have been installed.

Traditional incandescent light bulbs operate at 20% energy efficiency only,  80% of the electricity is lost as heat. Imagine the following scenario:

Traditional lighting you have an electricity bill of £100, £80 of that money has been used to heat the room, not to light it!  LED lights operate at 80% efficiency, the electricity costs would be around £20 and you’d have saved around £80.

The long operational life time acts as a multiplier and helps achieve even more energy efficiency, especially large scaleand when thinking in terms of urban infrastructure projects, such as cities, railroads and airports.

Think of an airport using energy efficient LED lighting exclusively and achieving 25 to 30% power consumption reduction in comparison with an airport using conventional lighting technology.

Because the long life span of LED lights, the reduced maintenance work – think of all the work and energy it would take to purchase, stock and change the conventional light bulbs of an airport – you’ll see that you can make significant energy savings also when it comes to maintenance and replacement due to the long operational life times of LED lighting.

3. Ecologically Friendly

LED lights are free of toxic chemicals. Most conventional fluorescent lighting bulbs contain a multitude of materials like e.g mercury that are dangerous for the environment.

LED lights contain no toxic materials and are 100% recyclable, and will help you to reduce your carbon footprint by up to a third. The long operational life time span mentioned above means also that one LED light bulb can save material and production of 25 incandescent light bulbs. A big step towards a greener future!

4. Durable Quality

LED s lights are extremely durable and built with sturdy components that are highly rugged and can withstand even the roughest conditions.

Because LED lights are resistant to shock, vibrations and external impacts, they make great outdoor lighting systems for rough conditions and exposure to weather, wind, rain or even external vandalism, traffic related public exposure and construction or manufacturing sites.  It is necessary to buy the correct rated lights for external use

5. Zero UV Emissions

LED lights produces little infrared light and close to no UV emissions.

Because of this, LED lighting is highly suitable not only for goods and materials that are sensitive to heat due to the benefit of little radiated heat emission, but also for illumination of UV sensitive objects, or animals also materials such as in museums, art galleries, archaeological sites etc.

6. Design Flexibility

LED’s can be combined in any shape to produce highly efficient illumination. Individual LED’s lights can be dimmed, resulting in a dynamic control of light, color and distribution. Well-designed LED illumination systems can achieve fantastic lighting effects, not only for the eye but also for the mood and the mind:

LED mood illumination is already being used in airplanes, classrooms and many more locations and we can expect to see a lot more LED mood illumination in our daily lives within the next few years.

7. Operational in Extremely Cold or Hot Temperatures

LED’s are ideal for operation under cold and low outdoor temperature settings. For fluorescent lamps, low temperatures may affect operation and present a challenge, but LED illumination operates well also in cold settings, such as for outdoor winter settings, freezer rooms etc.

8. Light Disbursement

LED lighting is designed to focus its light and can be directed to a specific location without the use of an external reflector, achieving a higher application efficiency than conventional lighting. Well-designed LED illumination systems are able to deliver light more efficiently to the desired location.

9. Instant Lighting & Frequent Switching

LED lights brighten up immediately and when powered on, which has great advantages for infrastructure projects such as e.g traffic and signal lights.

Also, LED lights can switched off and on frequently and without affecting the LED’s lifetime or light emission. In contrast, traditional lighting may take several seconds to reach full brightness, and frequent on/off switching does drastically reduce operational life expectancy.

10. Low-Voltage

A low-voltage power supply is sufficient for LED illumination. This makes it easy to use LED lighting also in outdoor settings, by connecting an external solar-energy source and is a big advantage when it comes to using LED technologyin remote or rural areas.
