“We need to invest in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and clean technologies like LED lighting.”
– Barack Obama
How frustrating it is when you constantly need to change or repair something at your place. Isn’t it?
This is how the traditional incandescent light bulbs used to be, requiring frequent repairs and changes, consuming high energy, generating excess heat, and whatnot.
But not anymore, gone are the days when we were stuck with inefficient and suboptimal light bulbs. This is the era of light-emitting diodes or LEDs.
With more awareness and knowledge, people are shifting towards environment-friendly and cleaner technologies in almost every industry, and LEDs are one such solution.
The seven benefits of LEDs mentioned in this article will help you understand why LEDs are a superior solution and better than any other light bulb available in the market. Let’s begin our discussion with the first benefit –
Unlike undirected traditional lights, LED bulbs provide clear visibility and superior illumination, deterring potential intruders. This clear visibility enables you to see anything creeping in the dark and makes it harder for intruders to hide. It enhances the quality of video surveillance, making it easier to capture clear and usable footage.
Installing an LED wall pack at sensitive zones that require extra security measures such as perimeters, entry points, and secluded passageways will give you peace of mind.
LED lights can brighten up your place better than any other type of light available in the market. It lasts and works far better than the traditional incandescent lights. It is not only energy efficient and cost-effective but also produces much more brightness than an incandescent bulb at the same energy consumption.
Although LED bulbs are costlier than traditional bulbs, their efficiency and long lifespan save you money in the long run. Traditional incandescent bulbs heat up very fast, which results in a major percentage of energy getting wasted in the form of heat energy.
LED bulbs use up to 90% less energy than the incandescent bulbs. For instance, if you are using a 5-watt LED bulb, it would easily produce around 400–500 lumens of light. Whereas, you would need a 40-watt incandescent bulb for the same amount of light.
LED lights can work anywhere up to 25,000 to 50,000 hours, some quality bulbs can even last for 100,000 hours. They easily last 2-4 times more than fluorescent, metal halide, and HPS bulbs and in comparison to incandescent lights they last 40–50 times longer.
This is because they are solid-state devices that produce much lower heat in comparison to other bulbs and are not made up of any filament or glass components that burn out or break.
Fun Fact
The average lifespan of an LED is around 35,000 hours. Understand it like this, If you install an LED in a newborn baby’s room today, you can expect that bulb to work until they are in high school. It can even last until their initial weeks of college.
LED lights significantly reduce your carbon footprint. The 100% recyclable material reduces your carbon footprint by up to a third.
LED wall pack produce minimum heat, which is generally dissipated through a heat sink, this not only helps to keep bulbs cool and prolong their lifespan. But also reduces the demand for cooling in warm seasons, further decreasing energy use. All this leads to lower greenhouse emissions from the power plants, reducing carbon footprint.
It requires no nuclear physics to install an LED light bulb. Most LED bulbs are made to fit standard sockets available in households but in case it needs any alteration, LED strips and fixtures can be cut and adapted to different spaces.
You do not need to go any extra mile for the maintenance of LED bulbs, they are robust and less prone to breakage and hence do not require repairs often. The sustained lifespan of bulbs requires less frequent replacements than any other type of light bulb.
LEDs are a much better choice from a sustainable and environmental point of view. Some of its features that make it an environmentally friendly solution are –
DO YOU KNOW?
The global LED lamp market was worth USD 83.63 billion and is expected to reach USD 172.84 by the end of 2032. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.4 % during the forecast period.
As we discussed these seven benefits, it must be clear to you how much better LED wall pack lights are for both residential and commercial use. It will not only brighten up your place efficiently but also help enhance security.
With its 25 times longer lifespan than traditional incandescent bulbs and 75% less energy usage, it will also be a better choice for your wallet.
Finally, we can wrap up by saying that LEDs are the future of light bulbs.
