LED - Light
The technology of the LED (Lighting Emitting Diode) is located in a tiny semiconductor crystal. When voltage is applied, recombination takes place at the barrier layer between anode and cathode. The energy released by recombination is emitted as light (electroluminescence). Just a little energy is enough to make semiconductors shine. The phosphor converts the monochromatic part of the LED radiation into light. Only high-quality, colour-stable LEDs from reliable and well-known LED manufacturers are used in BuR Lighting luminaires.
BuR Lighting supplies energy efficient LED luminaires with high luminous efficacy. See Menu: Projects/ Federal Funding.
Good reasons for new LED lighting
- The lighting concept no longer complies with current regulations
- Production has too high failure rates
- Increased problems with regard to work safety
- Individual workplaces need more or better light
- Changed ambient conditions:
- Ambient temperature
- Air humidity
- Air consistency
- Change of use in the rooms - Current costs and consumption are far too high for:
- Luminaire maintenance
- Lamp replacement
- Current
- CO2-emission
