    In basic terms, LED stands for a “Light Emitting Diode” which is a semiconductor device that emits visible light of a certain color. When incorporated into a complete system, LED's can be controlled with regard to beam spread, color, and light output to provide a package that can by today's standards equal or surpass the quality and efficiency of standard light sources such as incandescent, halogen, fluorescent, compact fluorescent, and HID sources.

    By nature, LED's deliver directional light output and thus the reason to develop various means of controlling the spread of light and color of light, while also controlling heat generation which can adversely affect life. Major manufacturers of LED light sources have developed systems to deliver the best products that utilize specific and often unique features that set them apart as trusted and tested developers of products that Users can rely upon.
