  1. LED Lights: Weighing The Pros And Cons

  2. While in its nascent stage, light-emitting diode (LED) was used as indicator lamps often replacing small incandescent bulbs. Fast forward to today LEDs have evolved phenomenally over a period of time. Nowadays, LEDs are used extensively and have many advantages over different types of lighting such as compact fluorescent lights, or CFL. Some of advantages include low energy, cost-savings, and long lifetime. One misconceptions typically associated with LEDs include harsh lighting.

  3. Here Are Advantages Of LED Lighting:

  4. Energy-Efficient LED lights use a whopping 70 percent less energy than incandescent lights. This can add to the savings of household. The efficiency of LED lighting fixtures remains unaffected by shape and size.

  5. Money Saving Undoubtedly, LEDs cost more upfront. But, LEDs will save significant money compared to both CFLs and incandescent lights.

  6. Flexibility LEDs can be transformed into any shape to produce efficient illumination. Individual LEDs can be dimmed to control light, color and distribution. LED illumination systems can create a fantastic ambience with lighting effects not only for the eye, but also for a calming and relaxing effect on the mind.

  7. Eco-friendly Unlike conventional lighting bulbs, LED lights are free of toxic chemicals considered to be dangerous for environment such as mercury. This toxic substance is often associated with severe birth defects and brain disorders. CFLs use mercury to create light and make it extremely risky to use around children. LED lights will help to significantly bring down your carbon footprint.

  8. Safety LED lights are safe compared to incandescent lights. LEDs stay cool after several hours of use. On the other hand, halogen lights can be very hot to touch. While LEDs emit some amount of heat, it is comparatively less than incandescent light bulbs. This makes LEDs safer for small children who are at risk to burn themselves by accidently touching hot light bulbs. LEDs are warm, but rarely burn skin.

  9. On The Downside Cost: One of the biggest deterrents for LED continues to be the high cost. This makes LEDs a fairly expensive deal when it comes to replacing many bulbs in the house. LED bulbs cost more compared to CFL or incandescent light. Consumers often pass out on the initial cost and don’t factor long life span and less energy consumption.

  10. Path Oriented LEDs emit light similar to a flashlight in a beam or a consistent path. They don’t spread evenly. As a result, the use of LED is restricted to spotlights or accent lights for decorative purpose. However, with every new generation of LED bulb the technology seems to be improving. Newer bulbs emit light in a more even fashion.
