LED Lamps – Background and What they can do for you? Light emitting diodes (LED’s) have been around since the 60’s and are used for many different applications in the electronics world. Using LED’s in solid state lighting (SSL) has only recently become a practical option.   What does this mean to you and your business? We will use an example of replacing a fluorescent lamp in a vending machine but the concept applies to any current device using fluorescent or incandescent light that requires costly maintenance visits to replace burned out lights. Imagine installing a lamp and not having to replace it for many years. Imagine greatly reducing your cost and time required for field maintenance visits to replace fluorescent tubes and components. Imagine using only a fraction of the energy of a standard lamp saving $ in your electric bill. Imagine an environmentally friendly lamp that doesn't contain toxic mercury. Imagine completely controlling all facets of your lighting.     You no longer have to imagine such a revolutionary product. The Ellenby LED Tube Lamp for Vendors to replace your current fluorescent lamps exists now!

Advantages of LED Lamps   Total Cost of Ownership Labor costs greatly reduced by eliminating fluorescent replacement and maintenance visits Ballast and lamp sockets not required-saves replacement, energy and maintenance cost Significant energy savings Solid state components of LED tubes are difficult to damage with external shock eliminating cost due to breakage Controlled lighting provides even more significant savings. Control and Performance of Lighting Provides super bright more natural lighting attracting attention to Vendor and enhancing products LED Lamps provide even more effective lighting performance in cold temperatures Lighting is controlled - on/off/dimmed based on location needs (LED lamp enabled Controller required – available from Ellenby Technologies) Extend life of lamp by only using when needed Don't pay for energy when not required Efficiency  Properly engineered LED lamps can last 50,000 to 60,000 hours and more LED lamps greatly enhance efficiency in cold temperatures Low voltage 24V DC provides safer energy Elimination of radiated noise from ballasts greatly enhances electronic performance Frequent on/off cycling will not cause quicker burn out as with fluorescent tubes LED lamps can be very small and popu late d on printed circuit boards

Estimated Annual Savings per Vendor (Multiply by 5+ years for average lamp life) Typical Always On Energy Savings (National average 0.098 per Kilowatt-Hour) $18 Typical Additional On/Off/Dimmed Energy Savings $8 Annual Cost for replacement fluorescent lamp (Average life 11 months) $3 Annual Cost of field visit to replace fluorescent tube (average $60 per visit) $60 ESTIMATED ANNUAL SAVINGS gained for each LED Lamp $89
