Orion LEDs


A light emitting diode is an electronic component that converts electrical energy into light or infrared radiation in the range of 550 nm (green light) to 1300 nm (infrared). An LED is made of semiconductor material, such as gallium arsenide phosphide, that glows when electricity is passed through it. (The first digital watches and calculators had LED displays, but many later models use liquid-crystal displays.)

Although LED technology has not historically possessed the necessary intensity appropriate for lighting applications, Bruck has developed a low-voltage fixture powerful enough for accent or display lighting. The benefits of LED light include: 1) little or no heat emission and 2) color control superior to neon or fiber optics.
