Digital LED Spheres – Anything is Possible

Posted on April 7, 2016 by Led Pros Ltd.

Anything is Possible: Digital LED Spheres

Here at LEDPros we really do believe that anything is possible, especially with LED technology. As the days go by the value of LED technology is becoming increasingly evident due to the constant influx of new products into the market. Currently taking the market by storm are these new Digital LED Spheres we saw at the LED Convention in China. These Digital LED Spheres illustrate just how rapidly the LED market is progressing and developing. The Digital LED Sphere has taken the ridged, flat LED panel of yesterday and revolutionized it to embody the 3D aesthetics of tomorrow. With the emergence of Digital LED Spheres, flat LED signs have finally met their market competitor.

Customization: The Key to Endless Possibilities

LEDs are the most versatile message broadcasting devices currently available to us. Now, you may be wondering why this is. The versatility of LEDs all comes down to their ability to be easily customized and programmed. Their ability to be customized allows us to see inventions like the digital sphere and transparent LEDs. The Digital LED Sphere would be very difficult to manufacture with conventional lighting and digital technology. Currently, revolutional products like the Digital LED Sphere are rare in the North American market. LEDPros sees this as an amazing opportunity to bridge the gap between the Asian and Western markets by introducing custom LED displays and configurations such as the digital sphere.

So, what can customization do for you?

The answer is: Anything.

UHD LED Screens – The Next Evolution

Posted on March 18, 2016 by Led Pros Ltd.

UHD LED Screens

What are UHD LED Screens?

LEDPros always aims to be up-to-date on the latest technology and UHD LED screens are no exception. Recently you may have heard terms such as “4k” or “UHD” when referring to TVs and computer monitors. UHD stands for Ultra High Definition. UHD is approximately 4 times greater then the usual 1080p “HD” TV. UHD has recently been introduced to the LED industry creating screens that have no minimum viewing distance. A minimum viewing distance is a common criteria seen with standard LED screens and indicates the minimum distance one needs to stand away from the screen in order to view it clearly.

What does this mean?

Standard LEDs vs UHD LEDs

Standard LED screen pannels usually have a pixel pitch (“P” Rating/ Dot Pitch) from P4 to P30+. A P Rating measures the distance between the dots used to display the image on the screen. Lower P Ratings have higher resolution, i.e. a clearer picture and a lower minimum viewing distance requirement.

The new UHD LED screen panels have a P Rating of 1.9. UHD P1.9 is twice the resolution of the best standard LED screen’s P4.

Advantages of UHD

The three main advantages of UHD over standard LED are:

They have the lowest possible minimal viewing distance
You can display more complex images
There is no resolution limitations on pictures or videos

So, What’s the Catch?

Everything comes with a price, especially UHD panels. Due to their cutting edge technology and newness to the market, UHD panels are still relatively costly. Thus, the larger the dimensions of the screen are that you want to build, the higher the cost.

Is It Worth It?

The answer is: Yes.

Transparent LED Screens – What this can mean for your Business

Posted on March 14, 2016 by Led Pros Ltd.

Transparent LED Screens

During LEDPros’ latest business trip to China’s LED Convention, transparent LED screens were unveiled. These LED screens are almost fully transparent, bringing never before seen benefits.

What Kind of Benefits?

In this day and age it is hard to pass by any business window without seeing some kind of LED. However, many of these LEDs block your view into the actual store. The reverse is true for those on the other side of the glass; the LED in the window blocks the view of passerbys and the happenings of the outer world.

With these new transparent LEDs business owners will no longer have to worry about the issue of visibility vs advertising. They allow you to keep the storefront glass open, exposing your products and displays to the public. At the same time their high quality allows for attractive and efficient advertising.

Why Transparency?

Transparent LED displays provide a perfect solution for high-end brand advertising. This is especially true for chain stores that have available shop window space. The amazing viewing expanding across 6”is sure to attract many and make a strong impression. The clean design of transparent LED also perfectly matches the expectation of high-end indoor decor. Transparent LEDs are perfect for clothing retailers, jewelers, car dealers, exhibition halls, and so much more!

transparent LED

Transparent LEDs are also customizable like any other standard LED. However, their range of customization is much broader.

Business and Transparency: A Concept

Nothing makes a better statement about a business than its signage. In addition to all the obvious profit and aesthetic orientated reasons for implementing a transparent LED, there are still reasons closer to home. Transparent signage is very rare in North America, as a result the significance of this signage is even rarer. Captivate the hearts of your consumers with more than just an aesthetic “wow factor”, convey to them the meaning and value transparency within your business. Make a statement. Be more than an industrial leader via technology, be an industrial leader via communication with your client base.

So, Business Transparency or Transparent Signage?

The answer is: Both.

Are you looking for that “WOW”factor?

What about that long term consumer connection?

Signage Tips & Advice – Create Signs that Catch Attention!

Posted on February 5, 2016 by Led Pros Ltd.

Signage Tips and Advice

We all know that bright flashing signs get people’s attention, but what if we told you that they can do much more than that? The primary goal of a sign is to grab people’s attention. After grabbing their attention it becomes possible to transmit your message to them. In order to do this effectively, the sign should be readable and visually attractive. Read on below for some tips and advice on improving your signage.

Choose Suitable Sign Fonts

How:

Avoid using more than two font styles on a single sign.

Multiple fonts in one sign make it harder to read.

Primary Fonts:

Try to use fonts like Helvetica, Futura or Antique Olive as your main body text. These fonts are easy to distinguish from a distance.

Secondary Fonts:

Try to use Serif fonts such as Goudy, Benguiat, or Times.

Complex Fonts:

Old English Text
Engraved

These are almost impossible to read at a distance. Use these fonts when the viewer is will be stationary for a long period of time.

No-No Fonts:

Comic Sans
Other similar fonts

Because these fonts appear overly childish, viewers may feel that the business is unprofessional or not very serious. This is not an impression that you want to leave potential customers with.

Use Graphics Appropriately

Remember: Message>Lavish Design

Logos, clip art, boarders, etc. can be a good way to grab a viewers attention. However, they should not be the focal point of the sign nor overpower the intended message. If the viewer is only looking at the cool logo or borders, then the message is lost. Make note of what signs or sign features grab your attention. This can be colour schemes, shapes, words, font, or even design.

Consider Viewing Distance and Viewing Time

“How far away will the viewer be from the sign?”

This is a question that you will need to ask yourself before you choose your lettering. If the sign will be on a business with a large parking lot between the storefront and the street, the letters on the sign will need to be large enough to be viewed by drivers on the street.

*Keep in mind: drivers in motion will only be able to view the sign for 1.5-3 seconds.

The Cchart below will help you choose the correct letter height for the viewing distance.

Viewing_Distance-

Use Effective Colour Combinations

The chart below shows some of the most effective colour combinations. Combinations that have a high contrast between the background and the letters are easier to read. They are also easier to view from a larger distance.

* Pink, purple, teal and orange colors are not shown, but can be used for special events, holidays, and parties.

Although these are good general guidelines, they might not always produce desired visual results. Use your own discretion and intuition. Creating attractive and effective signage is essential for a successful business.

Li-Fi – The Network of the Future

Posted on January 22, 2016 by Led Pros Ltd.

What:

In the next 5 years laggy inconsistent Wi-Fi networks could be a thing of the past. Researchers confirmed that information can be transmitted by light. This process is known as Light Fidelity, or Li–Fi. It is hundreds of times faster than basic Wi-Fi and is a major step forward in networking and wireless technology. Unfortunately,Li–Fi is not commercially available to the public. Li–Fi is projected to be worth over $6 Billion by the end of 2018.

How:

It works by switching the current to the LEDs off and on at a very high rate. These rapid flashes work as a binary code to transmit data. Although Li–Fi LEDs must be kept on to transmit data, they can be dimmed. While dimmed they are not visible but still emitting enough light to carry data. Li–Fi needs a direct line of sight to receive information. This keeps networks much safer because you will have to be in direct contact with the light to connect to it.

As a result, it has a shorter range than traditional Wi-Fi signals which are carried on radio frequencies. Radio frequencies are picked up through walls and other objects. Li–Fi can have its ranged extended by bouncing the light off of walls or mirrors. By doing this you do lose some of its speed, but even with that loss it is still 100x faster than traditional Wi-Fi.

Why:

Due to the popularity of cellphones and Wi-Fi connections, our bandwidth is becoming quite limited. Bandwidth comes from the radio spectrum and is not unlimited. The US Federal Communications Commission has warned of a potential spectrum crisis because Wi-Fi is close to full capacity. Li–Fi has an almost unlimited capacity because the visible light spectrum is 10,000 times larger than the radio frequency spectrum.

Additionally, any light source can emit a Li–Fi connection. This means that street lamps alongside roads can be equipped with it. This would allow for self driving cars to navigate. It can also be used to provide a free network connection to anyone.

With current technology Li–Fi will be cheaper than Wi-Fi. They have less components and are easier top create than radio transmitters and receivers. The only major roadblock for Li–Fi is the infrastructure. Due to the fact that we have been on Wi-Fi networks for such a long time, most of our technology and infrastructure is compatible and made to work with it. For it to work with the new Li–Fi technology we would need to do a lot of conversions to the basic everyday things that use Wi-Fi.

Colour Temperature – What does the “K” Mean?

Posted on January 18, 2016 by Led Pros Ltd.

Ever wonder what the “K” followed by a number on light bulbs or LED lights is?

Light_Colour_test

The K you see on lights is the colour temperature in Kelvin. Now what does that mean exactly? Well the “K“,
also known as Kelvin, is a unit of measurement used to measure absolute temperature. 0 degrees K is where nothing is moving at all (0 degrees C is about +273K). K measures the temperature that a black-body radiator emits a certain color of light at.

K is used as a reference number to quickly estimate the light colour of a bulb or LED. Colour temperatures above the 5,000 K mark are cool colours, such as whites and blues. Colours under 5,000 K are warm colours, yellowish white all the way down to red. On this scale, daylight falls between 5,000 K and 6,200 K. Reds, oranges, yellows, whites and blues make up the colour scale. There are no greens or purples or other colours on this scale as light does not emit in those colours.

kelvin_color_temperature_of_light_sources

So, how does this help you as a consumer?

The colour temperature helps you figure out what the colour of the light will be. This helps you find the colour you are looking for faster. Knowing what the colour temperature is helps with planning lighting designs and setups. Especially for rooms or other settings like desks or work spaces.

LED Grow Lights: How to Grow All Year Round

Posted on January 4, 2016 by Marco Masi

Grow_Light_on

LED Grow Lights

What are Grow Lights?

Grow lights are lights used for growing plants in indoors. Metal Halides (MH), Fluorescent/Compact Fluorescents, and High Intensity Discharge (HID) lights are the most common grow lights. So, what does this have to do with LEDs?

LED Grow Lights

LED grow lights are relatively new to the market. When first introduced to the market 10 years ago, the costs for LED grow lights were too high for most of the general public. However, in the last 5 years the prices of LED‘s have come down substantially, making them affordable for the average person.

Why LEDs?

Advantages:

Energy efficient and cost effective.
No extra components needed.
LED grow lights can be plugged directly into any standard electrical socket.
The lights are all in a single unit with fans and a built in heat sink.

Spectrum Control:

One of the biggest advantages that LED‘s have over conventional grow lights is spectrum control. Spectrum control is the ability to control the wavelengths of light. LEDs eliminate “waste” light by controlling light to the exact wavelength required by a plant to grow.

grow_light_moss

With the high savings, ease of use, low maintenance, and being more affordable than ever, now is the perfect time for anyone interested in year round growing to look into LED grow lights.

LED Audio Controllers: Usage and Functions

Posted on December 29, 2015 by Led Pros Ltd.

LED Audio Controllers

There are many different types of controllers for LED strips. Some of these controllers are very basic and turn the strips on and off. Other controllers are more complex and pre-programmed with multiple LED lighting set-ups.

What is an LED Audio Controller?

LED audio controllers serve as a basic remote control used on a radio frequency. Of course, this remote control also has audio capabilities. The controller is fit with an audio input jack and a microphone.

What does this mean?

With this controller, you can connect audio wavelengths to the wavelengths of LEDs. In other words, the audio input through the controller will influence the colour, pulse, and frequency of lights in the LED strips.
LED-Audio-Controller-2

The audio controller reacts to the BPM (beats per minute) of the audio input. As a result, the LED audio controller works well with newer pop and dance music. As long as the audio input has a wide tonal range, the LED strip will reflect a great deal of visual action.

One of the really nice features on these controllers is they are plug’n’play. This means that you do not have to do any complex setup or custom coding to get the controller to work.

LED-Audio-Controller-speakers These controllers work best with RGB strips. RGB strips lets you get the most out of the colour combinations and sound. Pair these controllers with monochrome LEDs for a strobe effect instead of a full spectrum light show.

LED audio controllers are perfect for custom lighting at parties or events with music. With an all in one easy setup you can have your sound synced to the LEDs in no time!

LED Signs are a Better Choice than Neon, here’s why!

Posted on August 14, 2015 by Marco Masi

LED-signs-repair When it comes to choosing signage for the outside of your business it typically comes down to two options. Neon signs or LED signs. LED signage is the clear victor here without even diving in, but let’s lay out the pros for both options. LED-signs-neon

Neon signage has been around for more than a century now, meaning there are many dealers and places to get your signage serviced.

People find neon signs aesthetically pleasing, with almost a warmer feel than LED lights. This could be because of their association with the Art Deco movement and thousands of films featuring busy city streets ablaze with neon light. It is a very beautiful sight to behold.

Unfortunately the cons of neon signage out weigh the pros.

Neon signage has noxious gases within the tubing, this requires constant refills that only enable more harmful substances to be released into the environment. LED signs have zero harmful materials utilized in their construction and are usually 10% cheaper to purchase.

LED-signs-ledpros When you have a neon sign made, whatever the sign says will be forever. With an LED sign you can reprogram it to state a different message everyday! You can even include pictures, animations, the time and date, and different colors depending on if your sign.

LED signs can have their brightness programmed to change at different times during the day; it can dim at night and brighten in the day-time if you wanted.

Neon signs are still very beautiful to look at, so they will still be around for certain things. But all-in-all, LED signs are the clear victor here with versatility and better pricing.

LEDs vs Compact Fluorescent Lights

Posted on August 14, 2015 by Marco Masi

Compact Fluorescent Lights vs LEDs

Compact florescent lights (CFLs) are energy-efficient alternatives to standard incandescent bulbs. More and more people are switching to energy-efficient alternatives everyday. But between CFLs and LEDs which is the better alternative? Let’s weigh the pros and cons of both.

The Pros of CFLs

The Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S Department of Energy state that CFLs last ten times longer, use up to 75% less energy, and produce up to 75% less heat then your standard incandescent bulb.

CFLs are widely available at most retailers including supermarkets, drug stores, and any home-hardware store.

Each CFL bulb can save more then $40 in electricity over the course of the light bulb”s life. CFLs typically last 2-3 years.

One CFL can help reduce green house gas emissions by hundreds of pounds. For around 4$ per bulb, that’s not a bad deal.

The Cons of CFLs

Some CFL bulbs are known to dim over a very short period of time. Reliability is a hit or miss with these bulbs.
CFLs contain a very dangerous substance known as mercury. This is a hazard to animals and people alike, not to mention horrible for the environment if not disposed of properly.
CFLs do not light up instantly like other bulbs. They require a warm-up time of 1-3 minutes before they can achieve their full brightness.

LED-lights-nano

The Pros of LEDs

LEDs are very environmentally friendly, containing zero hazardous materials.With a lifespan that is 8 times longer then a CFL, they can last up to 50,000 hours and in some cases even longer.They create very little heat when in use which leads to a lower cooling cost. Over its lifetime can prevent over a half-ton of greenhouse gas emissions.

Lighting typically accounts for over 20% of an electricity bill in the typical home. LEDs can ultimately decrease that amount to just 5%! That means huge savings in the long run!

The Cons of LEDs

LED lights are more expensive, averaging from $10 – $30. But keep in mind that over a long period of time, you are indeed saving money by purchasing higher end light bulbs. It is an investment.

To wrap things up. Like with anything there’s always a downside, but if they are utilized properly they are still a major improvement compared to conventional lighting. Remember, if you use CFLs to properly dispose of them at locations that are meant for that sort of thing. Most LED lights can last for up to 20 years, and afterwards can be thrown out with the rest of the regular garbage, or recycled. With little responsibility, either one is a good start to lower costs and save money!

LED Headlights: Pros and Cons

Posted on August 12, 2015 by Marco Masi

Nowadays, people are doing many different LED-based modifications to their vehicles. One of these modifications is LED headlights. While there are a lot of benefits to using LED headlights, there are also some downsides. LED-Headlights

It is hard to explain exactly how an LED works, long-story short, they rely on negative electrons moving against positive holes along a semiconductor. When an electron falls into a hole that is on a reduced energy level, it loses its energy. This lost energy is released as a tiny fraction of light (a photon). This process is called electroluminescence. This happens over a thousand times per second, creating a continuous bright light. This light is emitted from the ever-so tiny 2mm wide light emitting diode (LED).

LED-Headlights

Pros:

The best pro to LED lighting is the energy consumption. You will see LED headlights in various hybrid car models which are based on electricity.

LED headlights are a very focused light source and are very customizable. If you look at most vehicles with LED headlights you may see the LEDs in a specific pattern or shape. LEDs are great for manipulation.

Cons:

LEDs do not emit heat. However, like halogen headlights, they do create a small amount of heat at the emitter when electricity passes through. This creates a chance for other parts (assemblies and connectivity cables) to be damaged. This is why LED headlights require cooling like fans and heat sinks to keep from melting.

However, the cooling systems are typically located in a not-so-cool area, the engine bay. This makes LED lights more difficult to make for certain automotive models. This also explains why they are more expensive then other types of headlights. LED-Headlights-Taillights

However, LED daytime running lights and tail lights don’t use heat-sinks. This is because they are not necessary to see in the dark; hence why they do not need to be as strong as headlights.
