PARAMOUNT ADVANTAGES OF USING LED LIGHTS IN COMPARISON TO OTHER LIGHTS
Though indoor lighting is an
indispensable part many of us do not pay much attention to the costs associated
with them, perhaps because it’s not a big-ticket expense. However, it is not
just the additional expense of buying a tube light or bulb that you must take
into account. Other costs like replacement and power consumption also need to
be considered cautiously before making a decision. As electricity consumption
forms the mass of the running expense of light fixtures, an energy-efficient
option like LED.
How to choose an LED light bulb that improves efficiency?
There are distinct types and
patterns of LEDs available in the market. Further in this article, we will
discuss the factors that need to consider before choosing LED bulbs next time.
•Check for desired brightness
The first thing a person needs to
check about LED lights must be their brightness. It should match with your
required needs and to check illumination, use wattage and the new method to
compare is lumens. If the measured value is higher in lumens, then the
brightness will also be higher and vice versa.
•Select between cool and warm
light
When a person is choosing the LED
lights for home, don’t choose warm or cool bulbs, but it is vital to select in
between them. Warm light bulbs are usually used for a small area of lighting
whereas cool light is used for special lighting purposes.
Longer Lifespan
LED lights can usually last
60,000+ hours if they’re appropriately engineered. So if they’re on for 12
hours a day throughout a week, they could potentially last for 14 years. That’s
nearly 50 times longer than an incandescent, 25 times longer than a halogen,
and 10 times longer than a CFL.
Instant Lighting
LEDs illuminate instantaneously
and require no warm-up period. This makes them an exceptional fit for motion
sensors, more hidden energy savings and outdoor applications.
EFFICIENCY
LEDs are considered to be
extremely energy efficient and usually consume up to 90% less power than
conventional bulbs. Since golf
course lights use only a fraction of the energy, in comparison to a
regular filament light bulb there is a dramatic decline in power costs.
Additionally, money and energy are saved in maintenance and substitution costs
due to the long LED lifespan.
Moreover, about the moderately lower power usage of explosion-proof lighting LEDs, they are becoming tremendously admired sources of light in remote areas, which are largely deprived of enough power supply and, rely on power from inverters or generators. Although LEDs have a higher initial cost than compact fluorescent light bulbs, the cost is speedily recouped over time in lower electricity costs.
Additional Controls
LEDs typically offer far more
control than traditional light bulbs. They can be dimmed with time, their color
can be changed, and they can be turned on/off without decreasing their
lifecycle. The capabilities can easily be changed with the addition of a couple
of switches and sensors, transforming your LED bulbs into smart lighting that
provides additional controls like:
•Commercial
Lighting zones based on occupancy in an open office
•Mechanically adjust the lighting
level based on the time of day, natural light, and desired ambience
•Trigger detailed behaviors in
retail stores with zoning and layers of light
•Control lighting and more from a
mobile device
•Get alerts and updates if
there’s movement, a drastic change in temperature, etc.
No Heat
Generally, 80% of the energy used
for incandescent bulbs is lost as heat, which is the prime reason why they’re
warm to the touch. Making them more dangerous to handle, particularly if you
have small children running around. LEDs are usually more efficient and are
easy to touch even after being on for hours.
Low Voltage
A low-voltage power supply is
substantially sufficient for LED bulbs and fixtures, making it easy to attach
them with sensors, smart controls, external solar-energy sources, and any other
automatic device. It’s also safer to install and use low
voltage lights in comparison to other types of lighting and can be done
without turning off your main power supply.
