LED RESIDENTIAL LIGHTINGBRIGHTER, SAFER AND MORE
EFFICIENT!

• Your home is your castle. We take that to heart,
  which is why we strive hard to make your castle
  look its best through a vast selection of
  energy-efficient LED lighting products. We are
  expert LED light installers in Victoria. We
  propose LED lighting. Why? Because LED
  residential lighting saves over 80 percent of
  electric energy than traditional lights.

WHAT ARE LED LIGHTS?

• LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. Its a
  semiconductor that converts electrical current
  into light with high efficiency. When electric
  current passes through the built-in microchip, it
  illuminates the tiny light sources called LEDs
  that emit light in the visible spectrum.
• Unlike old light bulbs (incandescent and CFLs),
  LED lights dont require a filament or
  fluorescent gas to produce light. Hence, they
  dont produce any heat when lit thanks to the
  built-in heat sink that absorbs radiated heat to
  keep energy consumption and heat dissipation low.
  This mean about 80 less energy is used to
  produce greater brightness per watt while
  emitting almost negligible heat.

HOW LEDS ARE DIFFERENT FROM INCANDESCENT BULBS
AND CFLS?

• LED bulbs are very different from incandescent
  bulbs and CFLs. Key differences include the
  following
•  
• Light Source LEDs are of grain size, and a mix
  of red, green, and blue LEDs is typically used to
  make white light.
• Direction LEDs emit light in a specific
  direction, reducing the need for reflectors that
  can trap light. This feature makes LEDs more
  efficient.
• Heat LEDs emit very little heat, whereas
  incandescent release about 90 of their energy as
  heat and CFLs release about 80 of energy as
  heat.
• Lumen Wattage LED bulbs require much less
  wattage than CFL or Incandescent light bulbs,
  which is why LEDs are more energy-efficient and
  longer lasting than their competitors.
•  
• How to understand this table look at the lumens
  (brightness) in the far left column, then compare
  how many watts of power each light bulb type
  requires to produce that level of brightness. The
  lower the wattage needed, the better.

WHAT IS ENERGY EFFICIENT LIGHTING?

• Energy efficiency refers to the amount of energy
  required to provide appropriate light. In
  conventional bulbs like incandescent, halogen and
  fluorescent bulbs, most of the electricity is
  wasted in terms of heat since ballast requires
  high voltage at the time of starting, resulting
  in more power consumption. In other words, energy
  efficient lighting means achieving more
  illumination from less power by replacing high
  power consumption products like incandescent,
  halogen and CFL bulbs with highly
  energy-efficient LED products.
• As discussed, LED bulbs are better than
  conventional light bulbs in several ways. First
  and foremost being reduced energy usage because
  LED lighting requires far less power to run than
  traditional lights. Which is why the Victorian
  government has created a rebate program called
  the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) to
  incentivize greener industry initiatives to
  reduce overall environmental impact. The program
  was formerly known as the Victorian Energy
  Efficiency Target (VEET) scheme.

WHAT IS VEU PROGRAM?

• The VEU program is a Victorian Government
  initiative to promote and encourage energy
  efficient technology. The rebate program covers
  both residential as well as commercial setups and
  provides financial incentives for switching to
  more energy efficient products and practices.
• The program is one of the most popular
  energy-saving initiatives by the Australian
  government to make energy efficiency improvements
  more affordable to Victorian households and
  businesses. It is administered in accordance with
  the VEU Regulations 2008 by the Essential
  Services Commission. Since the date of
  commencement, the VEU program aims to
• Make energy efficiency improvements more
  affordable for business and householdsContribute
  to the reduction of greenhouse gases Encourage
  investment, employment, and technology
  development in industries supplying energy
  efficiency products and services across Victoria

ENERGY EFFICIENT LIGHTING UPGRADES WHY IT
MATTERS TO YOU?

• Because your lighting choice can save you money.
  Energy efficient lighting upgrade is important
  because you are getting better illumination for
  less money. An average household allocates about
  5 of its energy budget to lighting. Switching to
  energy-efficient lighting is one of the fastest
  ways to cut your energy bills. How? By simply
  replacing your homes five most frequently used
  light bulbs with LEDs, and you can save over 70
  per year. For more, heres an overview of whats
  special about energy-efficient LED lights
• Reach full brightness instantly
• Save you money on power bills
• Use about 80 less energy than halogen or
  incandescent bulbs
• Use about 30 less energy than CFL bulbs
• Last between 25,000-50,000 hours
• Contain no mercury or lead
• Emit no UV or IR rays
• Operate at a much cooler temperature
• Cut greenhouse gas emissions and reduce landfill

  upgrades to Victorian homes under the VEU
  program. With excellent service and a wide
  distribution network, we aim to provide
  exceptional quality and services to our
  customers.
• iPromise helps Victorian households decrease
  overall energy-related costs through energy

CAN YOU GET A FREE INSTALLATION?

• Yes, if you live in Victoria and still use
  incandescent, fluorescent or halogen lights in
  your house. The residential LED upgrade is done
  under the VEU program which is a mandatory
  carbon reduction scheme devised by the Victorian
  government.
• The aim of the scheme is to reduce greenhouse
  emissions by replacing old, power-hungry lights
  with energy-efficient LED lights.

IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?

• LED technology has been around for some time and
  fast becoming an effective and reliable lighting
  solution. LEDs are well known for their longevity
  and high energy efficiency. LEDs we install last
  30,000 to 50,000 hours, considerably higher than
  the 1,000 hours for an incandescent bulb and
  8,000 to 10,000 hours for a CFL bulb. LEDs
  usually dont burn out like incandescent bulbs.
• Ecologically, LEDs consume very low energy
  compared to conventional lighting products. Low
  energy consumption translates into a reduction in
  greenhouse gas emissions while longevity in waste
  reduction.
• Monetarily, low energy consumption and longer
  lifespan translate into savings through reduced
  power bills and zero maintenance costs.
• Hence from the financial and environmental point
  of view, switching to LEDs is the right approach.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT LED PRODUCT FOR YOUR
HOME?

• Wattage The LED lighting is about reducing
  wattage usage without losing the light output.
  For example, a standard halogen downlight uses 50
  Watts, we replace it with a 10 Watt LED
  downlight. 
• Lumens Lumen is the standard unit for measuring
  the amount of light produced by a light source.
  It is equal to the amount of light hitting one
  square foot of surface one foot away from the
  light. Essentially, the higher the lumens, the
  brighter the light. 
• Lumens Per Watt This shows the efficiency of an
  LED bulb. For example a 270lm bulb consuming 3
  Watts of electricity 90 lumens per watt. Lumens
  per watt vary from product to product, depending
  on the LED chip used and efficiency of the heat
  sink at minimizing the heat emission. 
• Beam Angle The beam angle is essential in LED
  lighting. This is as important as the lumens.
  Beam angle indicates the spread of light from the
  light source. A narrow beam gives a concentrated
  light which is better for accent lighting. A wide
  beam gives a more general, softer light perfect
  for open spaces.
