-
LEDs provide long life.
-
LEDs offer fast cycle times (on/off) and are tolerant of repeated on/off cycles.
-
LED life can be extended by switching them off when not in use and by using strobe or PWM (pulse width modulation) techniques to drive them.
-
LEDs are easily strobed and synchronized with high or low speed imaging.
-
LEDs can be dimmed easily and without effect to color.
-
LEDs can be packaged in almost any kind of configuration due to their small size.
-
LEDs are directional, maximizing light delivery to the target.
-
LEDs are available in a variety of wavelengths from ultraviolet through visible to infrared.
-
LEDs are durable solid state technology providing excellent immunity to machine generated shocks and vibrations.
-
LEDs have low energy consumption, placing minimal demand on power systems.
-
LEDs provide reduced maintenance and operations costs.
-
LEDs generate minimal heat and no UV or IR radiation.
