Here at D.G. Controls Ltd, we are constantly updating the technology in our beacons to make them more energy efficient. With that in mind, we have completed the process of replacing all our filament lamp beacons with LED lamp beacons.
How they work:
⚡ LED Lamps
In electronic circuits there are many types of diode, these basically allow electric current to flow through the diode in only one direction. An LED is a special type of semiconductor diode which emits light when electric current flows through it, hence the name Light Emitting Diode. The semiconductor material used to make the LED determines the colour of light emitted. In general, LED lamps are relatively easy to source.
⚡ Filament Bulbs
Traditional filament lamps have lit the way for years, but environmental factors make them harder to source. They produce light by heating a metal filament inside a sealed bulb until it glows.To make the filament last for as long as possible there is usually a mixture of inert gases inside the bulb.
The table below shows the difference between a traditional filament lamp and an LED lamp:
