LED Lights and the Benefits of Using Them

November 9, 2017 by admin Leave a Comment

LED lights are becoming a huge trend these days. There is no wonder why a lot of people prefer LED lights over the more traditional lighting options like fluorescent and halogen lights. If you still have not switched to LED lights, here are some benefits that will surely change your mind.

  • Long life.  LED bulbs can last for up to 100,000 hours. This is really incredible. It is equivalent to 11 years of continuous operation. If you only use the lights for up to 8 hours per day, you will need to replace them only after 20 years. The lighting diodes don’t easily burn out. They also don’t become less bright over time. The type of light produced is consistent.

 

  • Energy efficient. This is another reason why you should switch to LED lights. They are more efficient than traditional lighting options, as 80% of the electrical energy produced is converted into light while just 20% is lost. For traditional lights, it is quite the opposite. Just 20% is converted into actual light while 80% is wasted. To produce the light you need at home, more energy has to be consumed. You will notice a reduction in your electric bill once you use LED lights, a dramatic drop compared with bills from previous months.

 

  • Ability to withstand tough situations. LED lights are shock resistant. They can also withstand vibrations and external impacts. Hence, they are perfect even as outdoor lighting systems. Changes in weather will also not have any effect on these lights. This is also the reason why they are popularly used as traffic lights.

 

  • No UV emissions. We all know that UV light is extremely dangerous. It can cause skin cancer and other illnesses. With LED lights, there is little infrared light produced and almost no UV emissions at all. Hence, they are perfect when used for sensitive objects or materials. You can see them being used in museums and art galleries, for example. Archaeological sites also make use of LED lights. The integrity of the material on which the LED lights are focused will be preserved.

Whether these lights are used at home or for commercial purposes, they will surely do a great job. To top it all, these lights are affordable. They might be more expensive than regular lighting options, but consider how long you are going to use them. If you divide the cost by the number of hours for which the lights are used, you get a pretty good deal. Add to that the amount you save on your electric bills.

Hi Friends!
I'm Fern and I have a love for travel, beauty, health and flowers! I went to school for nutrition, but wasn't really interested in being a nutritionist. So, I started to bartend and have since I graduated school a year ago.
I love talking to people, traveling and writing on my blog... and bartending allows me to do the things I love.

I can take off for a month to travel abroad and there will never be any shortage of bartending/serving jobs when I get home. I also love that I can work abroad bartending anywhere I want! So, I hope you enjoy my blog and if you have any questions, feel free to email me! :)
