How LEDs Are Reshaping the Industry
As a leading distributor of LED lighting components, Piedmont Plastics is committed to providing innovative solutions that harness the power of LED technology. LEDs, or light-emitting diodes, pass an electrical current through a semiconductor material, causing it to emit light. Unlike traditional lighting sources such as incandescent or fluorescent bulbs, LEDs produce light through electroluminescence, which is highly efficient and generates minimal heat.
This efficiency translates into significant energy savings, longer lifespan, and reduced customer maintenance costs. Additionally, LEDs offer versatility beyond comparison, with options for customizable colors, dimming capabilities, and directional lighting, making them the preferred choice for a wide range of residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
