Benefits of LED Lighting 

​

Light Lifespan:

The average LED lasts 50,000 operating hours to 100,000 operating hours or more. That is 2-4 times as long as most fluorescent, metal halide, and even sodium vapor lights. It is more than 40 times as long as the average incandescent bulb.

Less frequent replacement means two big things: lower maintenance costs in terms of labor and lower costs for replacement parts.

​

Energy Efficiency:

LEDs consume very low amounts of power. Most LED lighting retrofit projects result in a 60-75% improvement in the overall energy efficiency of the facility’s lighting. Depending on the existing lights and the particular LEDs installed, the savings could be more than 90%.

​

Improved Safety:

Safety is perhaps the most often overlooked advantage when it comes to LED lighting. The number one hazard when it comes to lighting is the emission of heat. LEDs emit almost no forward heat while traditional bulbs, like incandescents, convert more than 90% of their total energy used directly into heat. That means only 10% of the energy powering incandescent lights is actually used for light (which also makes them extremely inefficient). Because LEDs consume less power, they can operate effectively on low-voltage electrical systems. They also increase overall light for a safer working environment and better exterior lighting at night. 

​

Have Great Color Rendering Index (CRI):

CRI is a measurement of a light’s ability to reveal the actual color of objects as compared to an ideal light source (natural light). LEDs generally have very high (good) ratings when it comes to CRI.

​

Generate Directional Emissions:

LED technology emits light for only 180 degrees. Every other type of light emits light 360 degrees around the source. 360-degree emissions necessitate accessory devices to reflect or redirect the light, driving up the costs of the system and resulting in losses of efficiency. Consider a light that emits light into the ceiling - that is your standard bulb. The problem is that you’re trying to illuminate the room, not the ceiling. LEDs solve this problem and give the savings back in overall energy efficiency. 

​

Have Tremendous Design Flexibility:

LEDs are small and can be used in virtually any application. They can be combined in bunches for a traditional bulb, used in isolation as a small device light, or strung out in sequence in a linear fashion, providing a broad scope of design capabilities to fit any business.

​

Provide Instantaneous Turn On & Do Not Have Issues With Frequent Switching:

LEDs turn on and off instantaneously. There is no warm-up period, like in the case of metal halide lamps. Additionally, frequent switching doesn’t cause degradation in the device. 

​

Lights Are Environmentally Safe:

LEDs do not have environmental issues common to traditional lighting solutions like fluorescent or mercury vapor lights. Both of these traditional solutions contain mercury internal to the bulb and thus require special handling at the end of the product’s useful lifespan. None of these considerations are necessary with LEDs.

​

Produce Virtually Zero UV Emissions:

LEDs emit the vast majority of their energy in the visible spectrum, a small amount in the infrared spectrum, and virtually none in the ultraviolet portion of the spectrum. LEDs can safely and reliably illuminate UV sensitive items like art that will break down and degrade over time if exposed to this type of emission.

 

Operate On Very Low Voltage:

LEDs operate on very low voltage, making them suitable for use in outdoor lighting applications where another lighting option might not meet code.

​

Operate Well In Cold and Hot Temperatures:

LEDs work well in a wide range of operating temperatures without significant degradation. 

​

Correlated Color Temperature (CCT):

LEDs are available in a wide range of correlated color temperature (CCT) values. They can be purchased with a “warm,” yellowish glow, as a “cool,” white light and a variety of other options.
