Geko long life illuminator line saves energy
Schio, Italy
The Geko illuminators are 8 times more efficient than traditional lighting, using only 12% of the electrical power in standard usage. TheLED light is truly a solid state light: there are no gases, no filaments and no moving parts. It takes 50 incandescent light bulbs or 8 fluorescent lamps to equal the life span of 1 LED light bulb. Moreover the Gekos can operate in an extremely varied temperature range, as low as -50°C up to 60°C and still maintain their long term reliability.
With Videotec's advanced manufacturing capability and Geko's long life span, the relative power used for their production is reduced and therefore reduces the pollution from energy production. With the Geko also lasting 50 times longer than normal bulbs it reduces the quantity of waste ending up in land-fill sites.
A Geko consumes only 6-12W in operation, while conventional high efficiency lighting consume 50-100W making the device both cost effective and it saves energy. In addition, with an average life expectancy of 11 years (less than 6 months for normal bulbs), they make total savings on maintenance and installation a very attractive option.
