LEDs have many advantages over conventional lighting including longer life, energy efficiency, durability, improved performance at cold temperatures, directional light emission, instant on at full output, rapid on-off cycling capability without detrimental effects, dimming and control capability, opportunity for color tuning, and minimal non visible radiation (ultraviolet and infrared radiation). However, several important factors should be considered before selecting the appropriate light source. Here we aims to help consumers select the appropriate LED lighting for a particular application.
