LED Lights Advantages, LED Lights Benefits
Significant Energy Savings: Here’s just one example. A 12W LED tube is a suitable replacement for a 60W incandescent. Over the course of a year your savings could exceed $300!
Long Life Expectancy: The lifespan of LEDs range from 20,000 to 50,000 hours, compared to 1,000 hrs. for incandescent, 3,000 hrs. for halogen and 8,000 hrs. for most fluorescent types.
Generate Less Heat: All lighting sources produce heat, but heat from LED bulbs is almost non-existent. That’s why going LED could mean significant savings in home cooling costs.
No Mercury Content: Fluorescents and other bulb types have a mercury content that could be dangerous. LEDs contain no mercury or other environmentally harmful substances.
No Emission of UV Radiation: Unlike incandescent, halogens and fluorescents that emit radiation which can fade artwork, fabrics and finishes, LEDS are ideal for accent lighting without use of UV filters.
Special Indoor/Outdoor Lighting Effects: LEDs provide directional sources of light, ideal for interior/exterior down-lighting or economical floodlighting in wall sconces and ceiling fixtures. Many other special decorative effects can be achieved with LEDs.
Compatibility with Incandescent Sockets: Replacement LED lamps are available that simply screw into to your existing incandescent sockets.
Under-Cabinet Task Lighting Possibilities: Special effects for kitchens, the home office and household work surfaces are now possible with LED lighting.
