subject: Interior Design Orlando And Led Lighting [print this page] One of the very latest interior design Orlando trends revolves around LED lighting. It's particularly popular in kitchens because it fits in well under cabinets and other close quarters situations. Even so, you can find this new type of high-tech lighting in all areas of homes now. So just what is it that's making it so popular?
It Uses 75% Less Electricity
Standard incandescent bulbs generate light by burning a filament while fluorescent bulbs generate their light by activating molecules of a gas. Both of these methods also generate large amounts of heat and it it's this heat generation that causes these types of bulbs to use the amount of energy that they do.
LED light on the other hand generates light by passing an electrical charge through a crystal and that in turn results in a fraction of the heat being generated compared to to standard light bulbs. This is why these newer types of lights consume far less power and while they are more expensive, they last substantially longer and they also make up for the added cost in power savings.
It Spreads Out So Much Better
One more positive aspect that's making LED lighting the growing popular choice in interior design Orlando circles is that it distributes more evenly. Go check for yourself and see that light generated by a standard incandescent bulb tends to be focused intently in the center area and will have a weaker perimeter.
So if you have, say a large backyard that needs to be lit up, it will most likely require several balls to do an even and thorough job of it. More than one bulb to make sure that the lighting is spread out evenly. The light generated by an LED source spreads out wider and more evenly to eliminate the 'spotlight' affect and glare and it also makes it more comfortable on the eyes.
It's Low Voltage
It's also low-voltage, so after the power is ran through a transformer it's brought down to 12 volts. The same amount of electricity that a car or truck uses to power its electrical components. Low-voltage of course means it's a lot safer but there's more to it than just that.
It also means that it takes lighter gauge wire, so it's a lot easier to adapt in for retrofit situations. Just like an alarm system it's easier to wire up a home for because it's low-voltage and light LED wiring is easily string through and conceal in the home. Under counters, behind bathroom mirrors, around tabs and showers, through attics and under sub floors, etc.
