About Us
Ritelite is a new online shop whose aim is to bring LED lights to the Australian consumer at affordable prices.
Why LED's: We believe that LED lights are the modern replacement for all other lighting solutions.
They have no dangerous chemicals that can pollute our environment after they have reached the end of their life and can safely be disposed of in landfill after most of their components have been recycled.
They emit no UV radiation.
LED's have a life span of 40,000 hours, 35,000+ more than compact fluorescents. The longevity of LED's reduces maintenance costs
Our LED lights have a 12 month replacement warranty.
LED lights operate at a lower temperature reducing cooling costs.
What is wrong with CFL's (Compact Fluorescent Lights)
They contain mercury and should be disposed of a council collection points for dangerous substance reprocessing.
They emit UV radiation.
Their life expectancy is rated at 8,000 hours, though actual life expectancy is reported to be around 3,000. If they last 10 hours there is no guarantee, so you'll need to pay for another replacement.
