The annual energy savings for just one 7?Cwatt GE LED light operated for 4,500 hours annually at $.10/kWh will be approximately $10.

Areas inside the restaurant now illuminated with GE LED lights include the entrance And lobby areas, lighting over dining room tables and perimeter lighting.

Superfast Recovery Rectifier is the most popular use for diodes. Fast rectifiers convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). They only allow one-way flow of electrons. Rectifiers have many uses and are often found serving as components of high-voltage direct current power transmission systems and DC power supplies. Fast rectifier diodes feature very low reverse recovery time, very low switching losses and low noise turn-off switching.
