The LED-Resource Difference
LED-Resource is dedicated to information about the Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) that are revolutionizing lighting in many aspects of our lives. Our team of editors come from various engineering, rather than journalistic, backgrounds, providing LED-Resource with the expertise to interpret technical details and conduct in-depth testing as part of our review procedure.
Excellence at the heart of LED-Resource, and we are a non-commerical company commited to providing professional content in a non-distractive (advertisement-free) environment.
Brief History of LED-Resource
LED-Resource’s founders were originally editors and members of a leading mobile technology site. Our focus shifted towards LED technology when our first exclusive flashlight review was met with positive reception, even though it was posted on a mobile technology site! Since the successful launch of LED-Resource in September 2010, we have been devoted to bringing you the latest news and reviews about energy-efficient, solid-state illumination.
