Whatever the type, classic, vintage, modern or retro, light fittings with LED technology can adapt to every style and every setting. LED is the recommended light source today.
Still hesitant about making the switch? Discover 6 advantages of new LED technology.
Low energy consumption
Offering an efficiency 10 times greater than a traditional halogen bulb, LED technology marks a milestone in the history of lighting. Using less energy for a light output equal to or greater than traditional bulbs is now possible. Your electricity bill will be all smiles, cut by around 80%.
Good for the planet
"LED" means "recycling"! Free from polluting gases and mercury, the LED bulb scores well on environmental issues. As well as saving you money and energy, it is child's play to recycle! But how and where? Collection bins are generally available in many shops as well as at recycling centres.
Excellent colour rendering
Less dazzling and just as effective, LED offers proven comfort for your eyes. We cannot talk about LED without highlighting its ability to faithfully reproduce the colours of the objects around us. With a colour rendering index (CRI) of at least 80, LED comes in different shades of light colour, making it adaptable to your projects (type of space, intended use, desired atmosphere).

Instant, high-quality full brightness
As soon as you switch on, you get full brightness. No waiting: LED bulbs are brighter and clearer than conventional halogen and fluorescent bulbs. They are perfectly suited to areas where you need instant light, such as walk-in wardrobes, bedrooms and corridors. They are also less dazzling than conventional bulbs and easier on the eye. Whatever the type, classic, vintage, modern or retro, LED bulbs can adapt to any setting.
An unbeatable lifespan
Compared with its counterpart, LED will stay with you for a long time in your indoor and outdoor spaces. It can last up to 50,000 hours, while halogen lags behind with a lifespan of around 2,000 hours.
Little or no heat
Some LEDs, such as 12/24 V strips, run on ELV (extra-low voltage), and LEDs give off little heat, with temperatures of around 35°C (vs 150°C for incandescent bulbs and 70°C for compact fluorescents). This is an important advantage for electrical safety.
