E-CORE LED lights have a lifespan up to 40 000hours, which is at least 10 years with average household use. The lights also require no maintenance, which further reduces the overall costs. Toshiba LED lights generate very little heat due to their high conversion rate, consuming only 80% of the energy of an incandescent light bulb would. Their high brightness and catching design will match into any home, and adapt the lights to any environment due to their wide range of sizes, fittings and colour intensity.
