LED lighting
LED lamps are electrical light sources that use light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to produce light. Like compact fluorescent lamps, they are energy-saving light sources (ESL). The service life of LED illuminants is stated as up to 50,000 hours as compared to conventional incandescent lamps which achieve a service life of only around 1000 hours. In addition, LED lamps require less electrical power for the same brightness. They therefore achieve a higher energy efficiency (better luminous efficacy). Although they generally have higher investment costs, they are much more economical than most other lamps because of their lower operating costs which are energy costs and replacement costs. We are aware of the fact that LED lighting can be an element of interesting electronic projects, so in the offer of Botland store you can find many types of this lighting that meet individual expectations and needs.

The popularity of LED lighting results not only from the possibility of flexible shaping of the light color, but also from its efficiency - for example, a typical LED bulb requires approximately 10 times lower power than a conventional bulb with a similar luminous flux.
LED lighting is much more friendly to people and animals than other types of light sources (e.g. fluorescent lamps). However, please remember that too strong a stream of LED light directed at the retina may damage it. Moreover, application Low-quality LED power supplies and dimmers may cause discomfort due to the irritating flickering effect.
