WB201-BCA28H

Light emitting diodes (LEDs) have revolutionized the lighting industry with their energy efficiency, long lifetime, reduced maintenance costs and bright illumination.

The WB201-BCA28H is typical of the new generation of high efficiency, multi-chip LED replacements for incandescent, halogen and compact fluorescent lamps. It offers up to 80 lumens per watt and can easily replace a 75-watt incandescent while using only 19 watts of power. The lamp life rating is 50,000 hours, eliminating the need for frequent bulb and lamp replacement.

The LED lamp is composed of multiple LED chips with a total of 348 white LEDs. The chips spanning the 2’ x 2’ fixture produce a bright and even light exactly upon the surface with virtually no shadows. The brightness level is easily adjustable and you can choose from three different modes: day, night and dim. The day mode uses the full wattage of the lamp and is suitable for running from dusk to dawn or during the day. The night mode uses a quarter of the wattage for energy saving night time applications. The dim mode uses only one-sixth of the wattage to provide a subtle light for lowlight requirements.

How an LED lamp works is just like any other, it converts electrical energy into light. However, it is more efficient in that it converts more electrical energy into light. This is due to the fact that LEDs are a lot more efficient than incandescent and halogen lamps, they don\'t waste energy in the form of heat. The glasses used in LEDs also act to keep the light concentrated within the fixture, whereas halogen and incandescent lamps radiate light in all directions.

As well as being brighter and more efficient, LED lamps have other advantages too. They generate very little UV or infrared light, making them ideal for areas where this is an issue. They are also more robust and resistant to vibration, shock and temperature changes, which make them ideal for outdoor applications. They are also easily dimmable, letting you quickly reduce the amount of light being generated for energy saving.

The benefits of LED lamps can be summed up as improved energy efficiency, reduced maintenance, long life and bright illumination. They are becoming increasingly popular for many applications such as accent lighting, task lighting and even interior lighting. So if you are considering replacing an existing lamp, LED lamps are definitely worth considering.
