It was a
matter of time when people realized that Incandescent lighting is very power
consuming and it's been many years since fluorescent lighting is used all over
the world. But as technology advances, new technology is introduced with a
motive that it will have certain benefits over the previous technologies. Thus,
LED lighting was introduced and it was proved to be economical moreover, LED is
winning a lot of attention in the market.
Fluorescent
lighting is now currently being replaced with LED lighting due to certain
benefits. Fluorescent lights consume more electric power than LED technology ,
the reason is that it uses a glass tube with two metal contacts at each end and
inside that tube an inert gas is filled. So when it is turned on, electricity
passes through those electrical contacts make a connection through the tube. While LED stands for light emitting diode so
it does not contain any gas or filament of bulb, but only a semiconductor P-N
junction which produces light in a diode, which is a solid and is one of the
reasons that LED are more durable than any other source for lighting.
Advantages of LED Lighting compared to other lighting.
Long Life (Operational Hours):
LED lights
have a long operational life of 50,000 hours. It is one of the factor that
makes it durable and long lasting. Whereas other lights have hardly a lifespan
of average 20,000 hours.
Eco – Friendly:
They are
eco-friendly and do not emit carbon dioxide . While other lights emit carbon
dioxide.
Brightness:
LED lights
emit white bright light and they have high levels of brightness. While other
lights do not have a bright white light.
CRI:
Colour
Rendering Index of LED Lights is also good than other lighting schemes
Energy Friendly:
LED lights
consume very less energy or they produce high lumen output at a low wattage.
This is the most biggest advantage of LED lighting over other traditional
lights.
Low Heat:
LED Lights
donot emit much heat they emit low heat than other lights.
Noisy Operation:
Other
lights have a noisy operation where one can hear the sound of light choke or
ballast which emits a specific noise of operation. But LED lights don’t produce
any sound.
Maintenance Cost:
As LED
lights perform better and longer than any other lighting LED lights have the
lowest maintenance cost than other lights as LED’s perform for a longer period
of time. While other needs replacement or maintenance after a short period of
time.
