The advantages of LED lighting
Light it up!
These days it’s all about saving money, and if we can do our bit for the environment too, all the better! One way you can do both of these things with very little effort is by switching to LED lighting. If you knew the amount of advantages of LED lighting, it’d blow your mind!
Here’s just a few of the advantages of LED lighting you can expect to come your way.
A real money saver
LED lighting uses 90% less power than regular light-bulbs, so obviously this means they last longer. When you don’t need to replace light-bulbs so often, you save money, and over time this can add up to a major saving.
You save the environment
Well, you might not save it completely, but you can certainly do your bit! One of the major advantages of LED lighting is that it is extremely energy efficient. We mentioned how much power this form of lighting uses compared to regular light bulbs, and in general, LED bulbs are expected to last for 100,000 hours – that’s a lot of hours! In addition to this, LED’s are free of toxic chemicals such as mercury, often found in conventional light-bulbs, which can harm the environment as a whole. LED’s are also completely recyclable!
No instant black out
When a conventional light-bulb runs out, it just stops working, and you’re plunged into darkness. You might get a bit of warning with a slight dimness, but overall you don’t get much in the way of pre-empting. LED’s on the other hand don’t work in the same way, instead of just running out, they tend to dim down dramatically over time, becoming less bright, so you know well in advance when it’s time to have another one on hand, ready for a change.
No UV emissions
We’re back to the environment here, but it’s worth mentioning that LED bulbs emit no UV emissions, which is obviously great news for this beautiful place we call home.
Instant light
LED lights come on as soon as you flick the switch and don’t need any time to brighten up, they are instantly as bright as they can get.
Perfect for outdoor usage
Certain bulbs, such as fluorescent ones, have problems when they are subject to low temperatures, however LED’s don’t have that problem, so are perfect for use in colder rooms, freezer rooms, or even outside during the depths of winter. The same can be said for hot temperatures – no problems!
Obviously the main advantages of LED lighting pertain to saving money and helping do your bit for the planet, and if that wasn’t enough of a reason to switch, you have handy usage benefits too.
Quick, effective, and with major gains that will hit you immediately, you’ll wonder why you didn’t make this easy switch sooner. What are you waiting for?
