LED lighting has been gaining popularity in recent years as a more energy-efficient and longer-lasting alternative to traditional incandescent or fluorescent lighting. LED stands for light-emitting diode, and these diodes are used to produce light in a variety of applications, from small indicator lights to large flood lights and even track lighting. One type of LED lighting that has gained popularity in recent years is COB (chip on board) lighting. COB lighting uses a cluster of LED chips mounted directly on a circuit board, which allows for more precise control of the light output and better heat dissipation than traditional LED bulbs. COB lighting is commonly used in high-intensity lighting applications, such as outdoor floodlights and indoor spotlights. Flood lights are another popular application for LED lighting. LED flood lights are typically much more energy-efficient than traditional halogen or incandescent flood lights, while also providing a brighter and more consistent ligh...

The light-emitting diode, or LED, has been around for a while — your digital clock and flashlight use it — but LEDs have only recently been considered the primary source of household lighting. Incandescent light bulbs, which have been the standard for years, are on their way out and being quickly replaced by energy-saving alternatives such as LED lights. Here are five factors to consider when selecting LED reflectors to help you understand the lighting switch.   Lighting Directional When compared to incandescent and compact fluorescent light bulbs, LEDs provide a bit of a spotlight (CFL). LED lighting is more focused, emitting light only in one direction. This directional lighting, also known as "beam types" or "beam angles," is measured in degrees. Simply put, this indicates how much area the light will cover (for example, a 360-degree beam is a full beam type). Some lights have narrow beams (for example, 15-30 degree beams or even less). PAR and BR: Angles a...
