Switching to LED lighting has been the trend more recently for both residential and commercial properties. Utilizing LED lighting has many useful benefits and advantages over the traditional lighting sources.
As you read on, you’ll be able to understand why many property owners are changing to LED lighting.
1. Longer Lifespan
This is one of the best properties of LED lights. Its lifespan extends up to 25,000 hours. LED lights are longer lasting compared with other lightings like compact fluorescent light (CFL) (lasts for around 8000 hours) and incandescent (around 1200 hours).
2. Energy Efficiency
One of the downsides of using incandescent bulbs is they convert a whooping 80% of energy into heat instead of light. This makes LED different. In LED, around 85% of electricity it consumes is converted into light.
3. Cost Savings
Because of its long lasting and energy efficient properties, homeowners can save a lot on lighting by using LED.
4. Nearly Zero UV Emissions
LED lights produces almost zero UV emissions. This is because even the small amount of UV is converted into white light by the phosphors inside the bulb.
5. Safety
Unlike other lighting which produces more heat than light, LED emits almost no heat. This makes LED impossible to overheat and cause fires.
6. Durability
LEDs are known to have extremely durable and built with sturdy components that are highly rugged and can withstand even the roughest conditions.
The resistance of LEDs to shock and external impacts makes these great lighting systems for rough conditions and exposure to weather, wind, rain or even external vandalism, traffic related public exposure and construction or
manufacturing sites.
7. Eco-Friendly
LEDs are made up of non-toxic chemicals. These materials can be recycled. It can also reduce our carbon footprint up to 30% (compared to incandescent lights).
