LED Lighting
LED lights have become the new standard in energy efficient lighting. Led flashlights and led christmas lights
were the first commercial applications but advances led manufacturing technology has made led lights a cost effective
alternative to incandescent and even compact fluorescent lighting. Although led lights cost more their superior
energy efficiency and long service life are making them a very attractive green alternative.
Combined with solar panels led lights are even more energy efficient. Because of led lights low power and voltage
requirements even a small solar energy system can provide you with many years of absolutely free led lighting.
Several led circuits have been developed that allow you to power large arrays of very inexpensive white led lights
and use only a very very small amount of energy.
