6 Benefits of Using LEDs in Lighting
LED lighting products are the most fascinating technological development in the lighting industry. LED lighting products are powerful, energy efficient and long lasting. LED lighting products work in quite different ways from traditional lighting products. The different structure of LED lighting products makes them particularly advantageous over traditional solutions. LED technology also provides many additional advantages over traditional lamps, fluorescent lamps and compact fluorescent lamps and lighting devices. These additional advantages include a long lifetime (60,000 hours), significantly lower energy consumption (90% more efficient), lower maintenance costs and increased safety.
1) Efficiency
LED lighting products use up to 90% less power than traditional lighting solutions. Thanks to the energy savings you will achieve with the use of LEDs, you will see a noticeable reduction in your electricity bills every month. LED products also save you from maintenance and replacement costs thanks to their long lifespan.
2) Long Life
LEDs have a lifespan of up to 60,000 hours, compared to 1,500 hours for traditional bulbs. A quality LED lighting product does not require replacement for 7 years. Generally, LED bulbs last ten times longer than small fluorescent bulbs and 133 times longer than traditional bulbs. The long lifespan of LEDs will significantly reduce maintenance costs compared to traditional lights and lower long-term operating costs.
3) Security
LED products are 80% more efficient than traditional lighting products such as fluorescent and incandescent lamps. LEDs convert 95% of energy into light and give off only 5% as heat (with heat sink). LED lighting products also consume much less power than traditional lighting products; a typical 84-watt fluorescent can be replaced with a 36-watt LED that gives the same level of light. Using less energy reduces demand from power plants and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
4) Environment Friendly
LEDs are made of non-toxic materials, unlike neon lighting, which uses mercury that can pose a danger to the environment. LEDs are recyclable and are also considered “green” and environmentally friendly.
5) Color
LED lighting products come in a variety of basic colors such as red, blue and yellow. The practice of using filters to produce a color with traditional bulbs is highly unsuccessful. LEDs can be mixed together to produce a large number of color options.
6) Diversity of Use Area
LEDs are used today for a wide range of different applications such as residential lighting, military, architecture, automotive, transmissions, electronics, entertainment and gaming, military, traffic and transportation industry. Since LEDs are focused lights, they are great at performing some specialized lighting tasks such as table lamps, reading lights, night lights, security signals, spotlights, accent lights and lighting for signs.
While LED lighting is growing in popularity in the industry, it is also being touted by professionals as a more sustainable resource.
