LED lighting is a leading resource for sustainable, energy-efficient LED lighting products to meet the needs of business, commercial and residential clients. Founded in 2006 by Greg and Anne Thorson, the company offers a broad spectrum of light bulbs, strip and rope light, under cabinet light systems, Christmas lights, dimmers, controls and necessary hardware for any lighting project.
In the LED lighting sector, it is not enough to pursue a longer lifespan for the LED light source alone. There have also been breakthrough developments in terms of capacitors - a key component affecting the lifespan of LED lighting products. Commonly used electrolytic capacitors generally have a lifespan of a few thousand hours, up to a maximum or 20,000 hours. By contrast, Eternal Group had already developed solid-state capacitors with a lifespan of 40,000 hours by early 2012; these capacitors also have a voltage rating of up to 160V, allowing them to work with 110V mains power. The company plans to develop 250V high-voltage capacitor products for the second half of 2012.
Heat dissipation is another area where LED lighting manufacturers continue to make improvements. In the past, most high-power LED components rated above 1W used thermally-conductive metal substrates, the drawback of which is high costs.
