  • Page 12 The advantages of LED lights LED lights are energy-efficient, long-lasting, and emit less heat. They use up to 90% less energy than regular bulbs, last up to 40 times longer, and have superior light quality. Here’s a breakdown of a few advantages LEDs have: Long Lifespan The average incandescent bulb lasts about 1,000 hours, and the lifespan of an...
  • Page 13 Improved Environmental Performance Many traditional lighting sources use mercury as part of their construction. Because of this, when they reach the end of their lifespans, they require special handling, and LEDs don’t. The Ability to Operate in Cold Conditions LED lights perform better in cold temperatures by about 5%.

  • Page 17 But what makes the blue LED so special? With the invention of blue LEDs, scientists were finally able to produce white LED light. White LED light is used in high-quality, energy-efficient displays, such as those used in smartphones, laptops, and televisions. These displays are known as OLEDs (Organic Light Emitting Diodes).
  • Page 18 ARTEMIS BUILD GUIDE You’ll need to break one large acrylic piece from the kit to get a bunch of smaller casings. Warning: Be careful when breaking to avoid damaging the parts you need. In the end, you’ll have nine separate pieces of acrylic casings. If you have excessive acrylic in the holes on the casings, simply push it out.
