New EU directive: Say goodbye to the light bulb
The European Commission has decided to prohibit the sale of particularly energy-intensive lamps for household use in a series of stages u to 2016. This is good news, not only for the environment, but also for the consumer: energy-saving lamps save money, energy and CO2.

LED is short for Light Emitting Diode. You might know LED lights for their use as the standby light in your digital alarm clock and your TV or as a bicycle light.

LEDs are tiny light bulbs that fit easily into an electrical circuit. But unlike ordinary incandescent bulbs, they don't have a filament that will burn out, and they don't get especially hot. They are illuminated solely by the movement of electrons in a semiconductor material, and they last just as long as a standard transistor.

LED lights are becoming increasingly efficient. LED lighting is now also available in daylight colour and as a strip light.

LEDS have progressed from “helmet hat” diodes to SMD (Surface Mounted Diodes) which avoid the problem of dulled glass that can result in a diminished light performance.

Totally Automated will be able to provide an extensive range of LEDS from TL and PL lights.

LED’s are also 100% recyclable, use much less electricity,do not give off as much heat as normal lamps and last up to 10 times longer.
