Reasons Behind the Popularity of LED Lights in Several Applications

November 9, 2017 by admin Leave a Comment

There is no doubt about the popularity of LED lights these days. From museums and art galleries to performance stages, LED lights are already used as downlights. Here are some more reasons why LED downlights are preferred.

  1. Longevity

With LED lights, there is no need to keep changing them. You are guaranteed that the lights will last for a very long time. In fact, it takes an average of 80,000 hours before these lights cease to function. Fluorescent lights on the other hand burn out quickly. They have to be replaced often. Other options like HID lamps may last long, but they take time before restarting.

  1. Nice effect

The good thing about LED lights is that they output their full capacity really quickly, reaching full brightness in just microseconds. However, if you decide to dim them a bit for a wonderful effect, you can do so in an instant. They are often used for both functional but also for things like Christmas holiday light decorations. There are varying levels of brightness that can help create the feeling or ambience you want. The best part is that when used for a really long time, LED lights will gradually dim. You will know when they have to be replaced. This is better than incandescent bulbs that suddenly stop, so you won’t have any warning before you need to buy a replacement.

  1. Totally safe

LED downlights don’t heat up easily. They also don’t contain mercury unlike other lighting options. They are totally safe. They are not fire hazards. They might have to be properly installed for full functionality, but once they are, they will not pose any risk at all. You will notice the difference, as you can barely get close to a fluorescent downlight due to its hotness after some time of use.

  1. Energy savings

The initial cost of downlights might be the only downside. Compared with other options, you will have to spend more for LED downlights. This is due to the number of LED lights required to make a well-functioning downlight.

The good thing is that LED lights are energy efficient. They require much less energy to fully function, unlike other lighting options. The amount that you will spend purchasing LED downlights can be easily recovered through savings on your electric bills. You also won’t need not replace these lights over and over again. In the long run, you will save more money.

You will see a huge difference in the overall performance and energy efficiency between traditional downlights and LED downlights, and you will not regret making the switch to LED lights in the end.

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! :)
