The Benefits of LED Lamps
The Benefits of LED Lights. What are LEDs?
LEDs are lamps and bulbs that use electronic components called “Light Emitting Diodes” as their light source, unlike traditional incandescent bulbs which utilize a fragile and brittle metal filament. The light emitting diodes have no moving parts (they are “solid state”) but instead employ an electronic chip fully protected by a highly durable epoxy capsule.
Efficiency
LEDs consume 50% to 90% less power than conventional light bulbs and last up to 50,000 hours, as opposed to 2,000 hours for incandescent and 7,000 hours for CFLs. Lower energy consumption and a longer life-span mean significant savings in electricity bills, bulb replacement and operating costs.
Longevity and Durability
A life-span of 50,000 hours means that if you are using the light an average of five (8) hours a day, you will not have to change that bulb for about 17 years. In addition, LED lights are extremely durable. They are built with sturdy components and do not contain fragile elements such as filaments or glass.
Environmental
LEDs are made of recyclable components and do not contain mercury or any other toxic or hazardous materials. The long life-span means that one LED light can save over 25 incandescent lights bulbs.
Quality
LEDs offer better light, with unnoticeable lumen deterioration. Additionally, with LEDs there is no buzzing or flickering, resulting in better work performance.
In summary: LEDs can significantly reduce your energy consumption, reduce greenhouse gasses and other pollutants, save you labor costs, reduce cooling costs and improve productivity. All of this with a great financial rate of return.
