LED has the ability to fundamentally change the future of
lighting in all over the world. Residential LEDs use at least 75% less energy,
and last 25 times longer, than incandescent traditional lighting. Growing use
of LED lighting has the greatest potential impact on energy savings in the
whole world. By 2030, growing use of LEDs could save about 348 Tw/h of electricity:
This is the equivalent annual electrical output of 44 large electric power
plants (1000 megawatts each), and a total savings of more than $30 billion at
today's electricity prices.
LED lighting is very different from other lighting sources such
as incandescent bulbs and CFLs. Major Differences include the following:
Energy Efficient: LED lights use 85% less power than other traditional
incandescent lighting and CFLs.
Heat: LEDs emit very small amount of heat. While
incandescent bulbs release 90% of their energy as heat and CFLs release about
80% of their energy as heat.
Direction: LEDs can emit light in a specific direction,
replacing the need for reflectors and diffusers. This feature makes LEDs more
efficient for many uses such as down lights and track lighting. With other
types of lighting, the light must be reflected to the craved direction and more
than half of the light may leave the fixture.
Less pollution: No toxic and harmful chemicals like that found in
traditional incandescent bulbs, fluorescent tube lights and CFLs lighting like-
arsenic, mercury, lead, carbon dioxide or phosphorous.
Negligible
maintenance costs: Replacement cycle
costs are extremely minimized.
LED lighting is currently available in a vast variety of home
and industrial products and this variety is growing every year. The LED
technology is developing speedily and this overnight development leads to more
products and improved manufacturing efficiency. LED lights are small and
directional, they are perfect for lighting tabletops for cooking and reading recipes.
The color can appear more cool or warm in a kitchen as desired. Down lights are
commonly used in residential passageway, kitchens, bathrooms, and in a number
of offices. Progress Lighting brings the benefits of LED lighting to your front
door with new collections of outdoor lighting fixtures. Available in wall
mount, garden lights and chain-hung these decorative outdoor fixtures embellish
and illuminate the outdoors with distinguished 3500K LED technology.
With improved performance and lessening prices, LED lamps can
replace 30W, 60W, 75W and up to 1000W incandescent bulbs. It's important to
read the manuals of LED lights to make sure the product is of satisfied
brightness and color temperature for the planned location. LED replacement
products can be an excellent option, when chosen carefully. LEDs use two to
five times less power than similar incandescent sources and traditional lights.
With normal home usage, illumination of LED lights lasts more than 50,000 hours
or more than 20 years. LEDs fixtures feature high-brightness warm white LED
technology, which is quite similar incandescent and halogen lamp sources. LED
products are compatible with electronic low voltage dimmers to dim the light
output. LED sources are cool for physical touch because they radiate a low
amount of heat. This means you can enjoy increased safety over similar
incandescent fixtures. In addition, the low heat decreases distressing air
conditioning bills.
Consuming only 3w of total power, while providing more than 100
lumens per watt of illumination, these kind of lights are for kitchen areas
that require highly sufficient low wattage fixtures.
