LED Lighting Benefits

Benefits of LED Lighting LEDS, or light-emitting diodes, are semiconductor devices that produce visible light when an electrical current passes through them. LED lighting differs from incandescent and compact fluorescent lighting in several ways. Below are just some of the reasons why you should make the switch, if you haven't already. POWER CONSUMPTION EFFICIENCY 10 8 are extremely energy efficient, as they consume up to LEDS Incandescent Bulbs 6 90% less than power incandescent bulbs, and about 30% less power than CFL bulbs. This, in return, saves you money! CFL bulbs 4 LED 3 SAFETY LED lighting generates virtually no heat, and are therefore cool to the touch. In addition, LEDS contain no mercury or lead, and emit no UV rays or infrared radiation. DURABILITY Since LEDS don't use fragile components such as glass and filaments, they are able to withstand shock, vibration, and extreme temperature. LONGEVITY LED 35,000-50,000 hours CFL 8,000-10,000 hours INCANDESCENT 750-2,000 hours While CFLS have an estimated lifespan of 8,000-10,000 hours, and incandescent 750-2,000 hours, LEDS have an estimated lifespan of 35,000-50,000 hours.
