LED Globus Specs

LED Lights

• LED stands for light-emitting diodes. It's a solid state form of lighting, which means that instead of light being given off by a vacuum or gas, solid matter is the source of the light. LED lights are energy efficient, and can have a lifespan up to 50 times longer than that of the typical incandescent light bulb. Though many LEDs emit white light, LEDs can come in various colors and can be used inside the home, in offices, outdoors and as decorative holiday lights.

MIC Electronics

• The MIC Electronics Limited Company, better known as just MIC, is a company involved in developing and manufacturing LED lights, including the Globus. It also creates products for the information and media sectors. For example, MIC creates graphic and video displays -- including outdoor video walls -- as well as network management systems for the telecom and other industries. Among its subsidiaries are Australia's MIC Technologies, InfoSTEP Inc. and Maave Electronics.

LED Globus

• The LED Globus Down Light from MIC is designed for large business spaces: hospitals, airports and showrooms, for instance. They are recessed lights, which means they're inserted into a space within a ceiling and then shine downwards. The casings of the Globus are made out of aluminum, and the light that it emits is free of glare. The Globus is ideal for a building that incorporates "green," or environmentally-friendly, technology.

LED Globus Specs

• The Globus boasts the following specifications: they can range from 6 to 18 watts, and they have an 85 percent luminary efficiency and a power factor of .90 percent. These lights will experience a 30 percent lumen depreciation rate after 50,000 hours of usage. They weigh between 1.4 and 1.6 kilograms. LED Globus lights should be stored at a temperature of 10 to 90 degrees Celsius, while their operating temperature should be between zero to 50 degrees Celsius.
