Five Little-Known Facts About LEDs

Feb 102010

1) They help you absorb more nutrients from fruits and vegetables.

Because LEDs do not emit ultraviolet rays, they are better options for supermarkets, restaurants, and kitchen lighting. UV rays decrease nutrient levels in foods, and all other light sources, including natural and artificial, emit UV rays. In addition, LEDs do not give off heat, keeping food fresher for longer.

2) They never burn out.

LEDs have a lifetime estimate of 35,000-60,000 hours, compared with the 1,000 hour lifetime of incandescent light bulbs and the 8,000 hour lifetime for compact fluorescent lamps. And even after they reach that limit, they will simply become progressively dimmer rather than immediately burning out.

PinExt Tips for Choosing a Barbecue Light

ApplicationFixedMount220 Tips for Choosing a Barbecue Light When the weather gets warmer people start heading outdoors to fire up their grills for that annual holiday cookout or an evening meal. Even though summer gives us longer days, there are still those times when you may be grilling well into dusk or evening. Or, depending upon your geographical location, you may be able to enjoy year-round grilling which probably means you have cooked outside often after the sun has set. When that happens, having a barbecue light to provide quality task lighting for your cooking area proves quite invaluable. Below are some features to think about so that you can make sure to get the most appropriate barbecue light for your outdoor grilling situation.

POWER

If you have an electrical outlet near your grill, you have the most options. An obvious choice is a plug-in barbecue light that plugs directly into the nearby electrical outlet. You could also select a hardwired barbecue light that is connected directly to the electrical wiring powering your outlet. This is also a choice if you have household wiring in close proximity but not a nearby outlet. If you select a hardwired barbecue light, we always recommend that you have it installed by a licensed electrician. If you do not have an outlet or electrical power near your grill, then an obvious and easy choice is a battery-powered barbecue light.
