LED lights have many benefits, and these are explored below;

  • They use minimal power which means their temperature stays cool, these will not get hot like incandescent bulbs or halogens.
  • They can be safely handled, even at the end of an exhibition. Therefore, they are much safer as attendees or staff cannot burn themselves.
  • They offer increased flexibility, due to not heating up they can be placed closer to your graphics.
  • As they use less power this means you can save yourself money, you do not need to purchase multiple sockets from the show organisers, run up to 10 LED lights off one socket.
  • The last advantage to mention would be the fact they offer instant brightness, so you will shine bright from the moment you turn your lights on. Which is ideal when running an exhibition stand.
