Why LED Lighting?
LEDs have long been the first choice for many kinds of lighted buttons and switches, indicator lights, and display panels. With the recent development of high-brightness (HB) LEDs they are now finding a place in practically all kinds of lighting.
LED lighting has been used commercially and in industry for some time now.
Recent improvements in LED technology have significantly increased the quality and lowered the cost, especially for bright white LEDs. This has opened the door for consumers and small businesses to enjoy the energy savings and reliability offered by LED lighting.
- An LED light bulb can last you up to 100,000 hours compared to 8,000 for compact fluorescent and 1,000 for an incandescent. This equals to 12 hours of light per day for 12 years!
- LED light bulbs are so energy efficient that they use only 2-10 watts of electricity (1/3rd to 1/30th of Incandescent or CFL). Depending on how often you have them on, they'll actually pay for themselves in just over a year.
- LED light bulbs run cool, so they're safer to use than fragile, burning hot halogen and incandescent bulbs.
- LEDs do not use mercury like CFLs - so disposal concerns aren't the same.
- LED light bulbs bring a white light into a room. Unlike the yellow light we're so used to seeing from incandescent bulbs, the white light cast by LEDs is closer to the color temperature of daylight.
