Q1: Will your L.E.D. lights work on a dimmer switch?
A1: Yes, but understand that the 120 volt AC current is transformed into 12 volt DC so, the ability to dim will be in a more narrow range.
Q2: Do L.E.D. bulbs contain Mercury like fluorescent, halide, mercury vapor or CFLs?
A2: No, but not only that, there are no gases used in our L.E.D. Lighting Systems.
Q3: Do your L.E.D. lights use a ballast to start?
A3: No, we use a power supply or transformer.
Q4: What is the specific size of the screw base on your Edison base L.E.D. bulbs?
A4: The size is E-27. This size works in all common fixtures.
Q5: How much heat does your L.E.D. lights produce?
A5: Our L.E.D. Lighting Systems that are not sealed for weather protect create very little if any heat, reducing the need for more load on your cooling system. Sealed L.E.D. Lighting Systems create lower heat by as much as 80% over any other type of lighting.
Q6: How long will it take to recover the cost of your L.E.D. Lighting Systems?
A6: It depends on your particular application and we supply you with a quote using our Energy Report based on your specific needs, but on average it takes from 18 to 36 months from the savings on your power bill.
Q7: What is the operating voltage range of the 12V Vivid Bulbs?
A7: The 12V bulbs can operate safely from 9V up to 15V. At 9Vthe output will be dim.
Q8: At what temperatures will your L.E.D. Lighting Systems work properly?
A8: Any temperature from 40 degrees F below zero up to 140 degrees F above zero. Our L.E.D. Lighting Systems for coolers and freezers eliminates the need to change burned out lights as in fluorescent tubes that burn out regularly from the cold air.
Q9: What is the AC Voltage tolerance for our L.E.D. bulbs?
A9: Their AC voltage tolerance is +/- 10%.
Q10: Do your L.E.D. bulbs emit UV light?
A10: No, but our L.E.D. lights are very bright and should never be exposed to the human eye for an extended period like any other bright light.
