LED lighting has paved the way in the conventional lighting marketplace. Long gone are the fluorescent, halogen and other technologies. LED has a lot of advantages and are being used for a lot of good reasons.
Energy Efficiency
LED lighting is very efficient and consume up to 80-90% less power than incandescent, fluorescent and halogen bulbs. Although they have higher initial cost, but the savings is more than enough to cover the cost and it has a longer life span compared to other conventional lighting. Also, LED lights are brighter so you only need a few fixtures to cover a wide area with enough light.
Longevity
A typical incandescent bulb lasts around 1,000 hours only while a fluorescent bulb lasts 8,000-10,000 hours. With LED light, it has an expected life span of 30,000-50,000 hours or even longer which is way beyond compare to the typical bulbs. It saves you a lot of money and effort to replace your lighting for it's low maintenance cost.
Durability
LEDs are highly durable because of it's breakage resistant feature and semiconductor material. Unlike other bulbs, LEDs don't use glass or filament that are susceptible to vibrations, shock and extreme temperature. Because of its durability, consumers are more confident to use it knowing it has less to zero chance of breakage.
Safety
LED lights are safer to use since they only emit a small amount of heat. Incandescent bulbs generates 90% of heat making them hot to touch. They can be left on for hours without the risk of burns and fires.
Eco Friendly
LEDs are safe to the environment since they do not contain mercury or any other toxic material found in ordinary bulbs. It contains phosphor which is not harmful to the environment.
There are several other advantages of LED lights. It's a great choice if you want to save energy and its extended life span is very convenient without constantly replacing it. So if you're considering savings, durability and other good reasons, LED light is the way to go.
