★ LED Advantages

For general illumination, LED lights with their outstanding light are already being used as simple direct replacements for incandescent light up to 60-70 W. As far as atmospheric lighting is concerned, the many colored and color-changing LED light give designers enormous creative freedom. The innovative LED range is rounded off with special lamps for residential properties and the entertainment industry.

1. Low Energy Consumption LED lighting has significantly reduced energy consumption without sacrificing functional efficiency and visual performance. An incandescent bulb is only able to transform around 20% of the electricity that it requires into light energy, with the other 80% being given off as heat. For LED light, it is the other way nearly – 80% of the electrical energy is emitted as light energy and only 20% is released as heat.

LEDs are also utilized for lighting control technology which contributes significantly to energy savings. LEDs are fully dimmable and are easily incorporated into circuits with a variety of sensors, including daylight harvesting sensors.

2. Long Life LEDs are also known for having very long life expectancy, especially when compared to incandescent and fluorescent lighting. A LED light can last up to 100,000 hours at full use, which adds up to 11 years of 100% usage. With 50% usage, a LED lamp can last for 22 years. This is a vast improvement to an incandescent light's operational life, which is approximately 5,000 hours.

The LED's longevity also allows for unparalleled cost effectiveness, since it reduces maintenance costs and the need for regular bulb replacement. This feature is especially useful if lighting is required for areas or niches that are inaccessible.

3. Durability LEDs are very durable and resilient, and are the choice lighting solutions for areas that require rugged use. Because they don't have a fragile glass encasement and do not require a filament to function, LEDs can take a lot of jarring and bumping and still maintain their ability to function at peak efficiency. They are known for being resistant to heat, cold and shock.

Because of this particular LED feature, LEDs are being developed for rugged use in underwater environments, and for exterior and outdoor lighting. These settings would have a lamp that would be exposed to the elements but would be required to maintain a high-performance visual environment.

4. A Cool Lighting Solution LEDs are cool – literally. LEDs only emit a small amount of heat compared to other lighting contemporaries. The LED's ability to not cause heat build ups works to the benefit of AC units, which translates to added energy savings and cost effectiveness. It also helps maintain a comfortable environment for people.

5. Sustainability and Green Lighting LED is currently the favored solution for sustainable or green lighting.  It does not contain any toxic material (e.g. mercury), which makes it environmentally friendly and easier to dispose of than fluorescent lighting. It also only emits an extremely low amount of carbon dioxide, which lessens its negative effect on the atmosphere. Because an LED has a very long operational lifespan (reaching 22 years at 50% use), it lessens wastage as it does not require regular bulb replacement. LED lighting also features an unparalleled capacity for energy savings, which is a major concern for sustainable design.

Because of this combination of exemplary features, LEDs are becoming the leading choice for those opting for sustainable design and green lighting. LEDs offer maximum lighting efficiency and effectiveness without the harmful byproducts that come with other lighting solutions.
