In the News: LED Lighting Takes the Lead

A recent Nasdaq article from globenewswire.com states the emergency lighting market is projected to reach $7.9 billion by 2023, growing at a rate of 7.9% during 2017. The rapid growth of urbanized areas has heightened the demand for a variety of safety solutions including emergency lighting. A marked uptick in construction projects is another instrumental factor in the growth of the market. With more police, fire, public works departments and corporations looking for the most effective solution and the best value, LED lighting is that choice.

Today, LED lighting is the best and brightest lighting on the market. As noted in a quote from firechief.com, “LED lights have transplanted every other lighting type. People are simply not interested in anything but LEDs...LED lamps are as close to actual sunlight as you can get today.” Lumens are the main marker for LED lamps, with the higher number representing the brighter light the human eye can see.

LED lumens let you take your lights to the next level with a wide array of versatile lighting options. Featuring super bright next generation LED lights, many LED units boast up to 90 lumens per watt and a lifespan of over 30,000 hours. Plus, these hardy lights are built to withstand the most intense conditions. Die-cast aluminum housing and stainless steel materials for all hard parts of the lamp make this product wear-resistant, anti-corrosive, completely waterproof, weatherproof, durable, and sleek. In addition, modern heat sink technology dissipates heat rapidly from the lamp which results in a longer life span and a more reliable light over time.

Major automakers are already hot on the LED lighting trend, with LED headlamps being an option for several years. The 2018 Ford F-150 offers several LED upgrades including LED Box Lighting, LED Mirror-Mounted Spotlights, Side Mirrors with LED Security Approach Lamps, and a Tailgate LED option. Add on your own custom LED emergency light kits and you’re ready to take on the road. Chevy’s 2017 Silverado boasts standard thin profile LED fog lamps and available cargo box LED lighting, plus an innovative power-adjustable, heated, outside vertical trailering mirror featuring an embedded turn signal and an LED Rear Guidance Lamp, plus amber running lamps. Cool stuff for LED enthusiasts.
