Benefits Of Led Lights In Your Home

Many people are switching over to LED light bulbs in their homes as the benefits

of changing from traditional incandescent and halogen light bulbs become better known.

LED lamps use less energy, and despite the upfront cost, will save you large amounts of money over their lifespan.

LED lighting uses up to 90 percent less energy than an incandescent bulb does.

As LED lamps emit very little heat, it is an extremely energy efficient form of lighting. In comparison, 90 percent of the energy used by a traditional incandescent light can be lost as heat energy instead of light energy.

LED light bulbs last considerably longer than incandescent and halogen lights and are more durable. Most LED bulbs could be used continuously for around 50,000 hours before you notice their light level reducing, which can be 20 years in some applications. LED lamps do not fail altogether at this stage, but will continue to get dimmer. In comparison, incandescent light bulbs last for about 1,000 to 2,000 hours at most.

At home, LEDs can transform a living space and can be matched to meet your expectations. In a dining room, you may require more subtle lighting, in a kitchen you may want bright LEDs, and in a lounge you may want soft, dimmable lights. These type of light bulbs are therefore ideal in a home to create lighting affects or to accent a room.

LED lighting also give instant light, unlike, CFLs and tubular fluorescent light bulbs where there is a slight hesitation before brightness is achieved. LED lights reach full illumination as soon as they are turned on and produce a steady light which does not flicker.

Which LED light do you choose? With a wealth of products on the market, the world of LED lamps is still very confusing for the average consumer, particularly if you are switching from traditional lighting methods for the first time. It is important also to invest in quality products from leading manufacturers such as Toshiba, GE Lighting, Osram, Megaman, Ledon and Philips to ensure that the lamps have been tested to meet strict performance and safety criteria.
