LED lighting solutions are slowly becoming popular in homes and workplaces today. Even though the costs associated with these kinds of solutions are higher than the traditional lighting solutions, the benefits you get to enjoy outweigh all the upfront costs. Many people are still in the dark when it comes to the many advantages that come with LED lighting technology.
Some of the greatest benefits include:
energy efficiency
LEDs are loved mainly for their energy efficiency. They consume very low amounts of power when compared to other traditional lighting solutions. Once can save up to 90% of power, depending on the existing lights and the type of LED he is using. If you have been using traditional lighting solutions, you will notice a significant reduction in your electricity bill once you start using advanced Led lighting solutions.
LEDs long lifespan
When compared to the traditional lighting solutions, one is likely to enjoy LEDs for a much longer period of time, taking away the stress and costs associated with replacing your lighting solutions every now and then. On average, LEDs can last up to 50,000 or 100,000 hours or more, which are more than 3x the lifespan of most fluorescent or even sodium vapour lights.
Safety
When it comes to lighting, the amount of heat emitted by a lighting solution determines how safe it is. LEDs do not emit any type of heat, which is why they are considered the safest lighting solutions available today. Traditional bulbs, on the other hand, will convert most of their total energy to heat, leaving only a little amount of energy for lighting. This explains why most of the incandescent lights are inefficient. Since they consume less power and all the power is used for lighting, LEDs can work very well even on low voltage electrical systems.
Size
LEDs are usually smaller in size. This makes them highly flexible and therefore easy to use in any area of preference. Some of the areas they can be used include in traffic signals, residential and commercial property applications. Modern mood lighting and also in circuit board lighting. They can be used together with traditional bulbs or alone to light a smaller device. They can also be used in a linear fashion to light as well as to create a striking view. You can achieve anything you want to do with LEDs.
Environmental Friendliness
Unlike many traditional lighting solutions like mercury vapour lights, LEDs are quite safe to the environment. Most of the traditional lighting solutions contain mercury inside the bulbs, which requires them to be used with caution when they get damaged. You do not have to worry much about LEDs after their lifespan because they do not contain any toxic materials. Besides, LEDs are 100% recyclable, and this helps reduce carbon footprint by a higher margin.
Durability
LEDs are made of super durable materials and they are strongly built, with sturdy materials that are highly rugged. This keeps them in great working condition for a long time and also ensures that they are able to withstand even the roughest conditions. They are also resistant to shock, vibrations and all kinds of external blows. This is what makes them great for outdoor lighting applications. They will not be affected by any extreme weather, rain, wind and also vandalism.
Advanced LED lighting solutions have better features and capabilities, and therefore the best to use in homes and workplaces. You will not only save money in the long run but also enjoy the best lighting solution for a long period of time.
