Xenon versus Led
Xenon work lights, like halogen work lights, are named after the gas used in the bulb.
In Xenon work lights, the gas is needed in the production of light.
Xenon work lights can be recognized by the blue tint given off.
The electric arc between the two electrodes are used to produce light, and are often called HID (High Intensity Discharge) Xenon lamps.
Xenon gas is used because at lower temperatures it helps form an arc between the electrodes (and thus create light).
When we look at the underlying technology that makes LED work lighting possible, we see why it is so durable, reliable and flexible.
An LED has a simple and strong structure.
The beauty of this structure is that it is designed to be versatile.
The luminescent semiconductor material determines the color of the LED, so the number of colors is infinite.
LED work lights have even more advantages in the year 2022.
For example, LED work lights are energy efficient, the light output reduces eye strain and the service life is longer.
For example, LED work lights have a lifespan of 50,000 hours, compared to 2000-3000 for xenon and 1000 for halogen.
Although the purchase price is often higher than halogen lights (but lower again than xenon lights), the benefits of LED lights pay for themselves quickly due to their lifespan.
Proponent of LED work lighting
At Rietveld, we favor LED work lights.
That is why Nordic Lights work lights are available from stock.
Other work lights, such as Halogen, can only be supplied upon request.
