Simply put, an LED, or Light Emitting Diode, is a diode that is chip-mounted in a reflector cup and held in place by a milled steel frame connected to a pair of electrical wires. When current flows across the junction of the two different materials, light is produced from within the solid crystal chip. HADCO uses bright white LEDs as standard, which are developed by coating a blue LED with a phosphor, and thereby generating a white color.

• LEDs provide a longevity that is up to 20 times that of standard incandescent lamps, translating to low maintenance.
• LEDs are solid-state devices, meaning no moving parts, glass or filaments to break.
• LEDs don’t waste energy in the form of non-light producing heat. Therefore they are cool to the touch and as a result, lighting fixtures and lenses are cool.
• LEDs are small in size and resistant to vibration or shock.
• LEDs contain no mercury and are environmentally friendly.
• LEDs are more efficient, using up to 90% less energy than other light sources based on watts.

HADCO LED fixtures are available in both low voltage and line voltage, and cover applications from accent lighting and path lighting, to step lighting, inground and underwater lighting. We are proud to be the leader in developing outdoor landscape lighting fixtures that are truly viable in the professional market. And remember to look to HADCO for Leading Edge Development.
