Reasons to Choose LED Lights

There are many benefits to having LED light lamps rather than traditional incandescent bulbs. If you’re thinking about making the switch to LED bulbs, or are building a home and aren’t sure if they’re right for you, we have all of the reasons why these bulbs come out on top when matched against incandescent bulbs.

They Last Longer

Incandescent lamps can burn out or lose their brightness the more you use them. LED bulbs not only have a longer lifespan, but they continue to burn bright no matter how long you’ve had them.

They’re more energy efficient

These lamps are over 80% more energy efficient than their incandescent counterparts because they don’t lose most of their energy in the heat they produce. This makes them a valuable investment when incorporated into your home or business.

They’re More Eco Friendly

There are no toxic compounds used to make LED lights and they’re completely recyclable, meaning you reduce your carbon footprint with every bulb you buy.

Insignificant UV

LED lights produce a very small amount of UV emissions meaning they won’t damage products, even when used in a close proximity like closets or storage spaces. They’re the perfect choice in lamps if you’re looking to illuminate artwork without damaging it.

They’re Durable

These lights are made up of components that makes them resistant to vibrations and extreme climatic conditions. They’ll remain strong and intact much more than incandescent bulbs.

They’re Versatile

You can purchase these lamps in all kinds of shapes, sizes and colours. They also vary in wattage, allowing you to decide on the kind of lighting that you want to incorporate it into any indoor or outdoor space.

They Provide Instant Light

You don’t have to wait for these lights to warm up in order for them to reach their full brightness. These lights will turn on to full capacity no matter how many times you flick them off and on again.

They Function in Extreme Temperatures

This is a feature that makes Led lighting an excellent choice in commercial businesses or industries that operate under freezing conditions. No matter the temperature, LED light bulbs will function reliably.

They Work in Low Voltage Settings

No matter the voltage that they’re working with, LED bulbs will function well and provide illumination. This makes them perfect for outdoor areas, gardens, pools, and more.
