An LED (light emitting diode) is a semiconductor which has an extremely long life. At 50,000 hours of use at a favorable ambient temperature the LED will be at 70% of it’s original light output. It is commonly suggested that we replace LED bulbs at 50% of their original light output. LED lights are cool running and contain no toxic material such as mercury or lead. They emit no ultra-violet rays or infrared and can be safely recycled.

LEDs are destroyed by heat thus the heat sink is a key component in the life of an LED. The LED heat sink removes the heat from the LEDs by thermal conduction, keeping the LEDs cool. Our LED line use a maximum surface area to force air flow away from the fixture.

It is important to understand that not all LED products are created equal. At Kuuala we strive to provide you with the latest LED technology that exceeds the current market in technology, light output, and performance.

Why LED?

Cool White - Typically around 6000-7000 kelvin (k) - Shade of white has an underlying blue tone. Very modern and contemporary. Very popular in the retail industry and art galleries.

Natural White - Typically around 3700-5000k - A natural light with no underlying  blue or yellow tones.

Warm white - Typically around 2700-3300k - The most popular range. Warm white mimics the look of incandescent lighting. Very popular for residential and commercial applications.

Three Shades of Lights

Going Green

Over the past 100 years new lighting products such as fluorescent bulbs, and halogen lighting have been embraced without any regard to the impact on our environment. Incandescent and Halogen lighting use a vast amount of energy; fluorescent tubes are more efficient, but contain liquid mercury, which is highly toxic. LED lights use a fraction of the energy, contain no toxic material and the majority of the components can be easily recycled at the end of their life. High powered LED lights not only look good, but directly impact our environment by reducing our carbon foot print, and reducing the toxics that enter our homes, workspaces and the environment.

Lighting Facts Labels - The Lighting Facts label is registered to the U.S. Department of Energy. It contains clear standardized labeling information of lighting performance, measuring light output, watts, color accuracy and light color.
