LED-Lighting

The latest lighting technology for your furniture, cabinets and displays

An LED (Light Emitting Diode) is a semiconductor that emits visible light when an electric current passes through. This new lighting technology offers a lot of benefits for the user:

Extremely long lifetime:

Hera uses only high quality LEDs with a usable lifetime of at least 50,000 hrs. Unlike incandescent bulbs which burn-out abruptly LEDs fail by dimming over time. This extremely long lifetime basically eliminates bulb changes; your savings are obvious.

Lower power consumption:

LEDs require very little energy compared to incandescent or halogen bulbs resulting in significantly lower energy costs for the user.

High efficiency:

Hera only uses the latest generation high power LEDs. Today the efficiency of halogen bulbs is approximately 22 lm/W. The efficiency of the high power LEDs Hera uses is approximately 40 lm/W. The ARF-LED which uses 3 x 1 W high power LEDs supplies the same illumination as a regular ARF with 20 W halogen bulb, at a 3’ distance from the light fixture. It is expected that LEDs will have an efficiency of 80 lm/W by the year 2006.

Virtually no heat:

Since most of the power to an LED is converted into light, minimal heat is produced. They stay cool to the touch which makes them a very safe light source in retail environments (customers can’t burn their fingers). They are also ideal for illuminating heat sensitive products such as chocolate or cosmetics.

No infrared or ultraviolet radiation:

You can illuminate your most sensitive products or collectibles without any risk of fading or damage from the light.

LEDs are shatter proof:

LEDs are built inside solid cases that protect them, making them virtually impossible to break and very durable. Maintenance is a thing of the past.

These benefits, along with extremely compact dimensions, make LEDs a designer’s dream.

Hera has been at the forefront of this new technology. Today we proudly offer you a complete line of LED solutions for unlimited applications. Our engineers will continue to develop innovative products incorporating the advantages LEDs have to offer.
