LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are compact, firm light bulbs which are radically energy-efficient and long-lasting in comparison to traditional incandescent light bulbs. One of the latest and most promising technological developments in the lighting industry is LEDs.
It is now used as lighting to a wide variety of applications such as LED desk lamps for office and residence, aerospace, architecture, automotive, aviation, broadcasting, electronic instrumentation, the entertainment industry, and traffic, safety & transportation.
SAVINGS
LEDs energy consumption is 90% less than the incandescent bulb and power cost is significantly lower. Money and energy are saved in maintenance and cost since LEDs have a longer lifespan. LEDs are popular as a light source in remote areas that use solar power because of its lower power usage.
LONGEVITY
A LED light will last over 7 years of constant use before it needs replacement. In comparison, LED bulbs last 10 times longer than compact fluorescent bulbs, and 133 times longer than typical incandescent bulbs. The long lifespan of LEDs will significantly decrease maintenance costs and lower operating costs as compared to traditional bulbs.
DURABILITY
LEDs are made of substantial components and are highly stable making it repel coarse conditions. LEDs don’t use glass and filaments which enable it to resist shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures. It is one of the reasons LED lights are used as outdoor lighting in areas exposed to traffic, construction, and manufacturing sites.
INSTANT LIGHTING
LED lights brighten up instantly and do not flicker when the power is on. This characteristic is vital for applications such as traffic lights and signal lights. Even when frequently switched on or switch off, this will not affect the light emission and lifespan of LED lights.
ENVIRONMENT
LEDs are made from non-toxic materials. No mercury is used in the production of the LED light which causes the threat to the environment. LED’s are also recyclable and make them environmentally friendly. The longer lifespan will mean that one LED light bulb is equal to savings of cost, money, and energy in producing 25 incandescent light bulbs.
