The Benefits of Upgrading to LED Lighting

The Light Emitting Diode, LED, is a semiconductor device that generates light using the process of electroluminescence. In contrast to the incandescent bulb, LED comes with advantageous peculiarities. It consumes less energy and lasts longer, specifically the third generation of LED lighting. No wonder that nowadays, many industrial and commercial buildings choose LEDs lighting. In this article, I will explain various benefits there are to upgrading your lighting devices to LEDs.

First,

Advantages of LED Lighting

If you are looking to upgrade to the energy-efficient lighting system, LED lighting offers many advantages over the common incandescent or fluorescent and other lighting devices. Below are benefits of upgrading to LED lighting.

1. Long Lifespan

An incandescent bulb can only last for around a thousand hours while an LED lasts between 50,000 to 100,000 hours depending on how you use it. This means that your LED lighting can last for six to twelve years, after which you may need to replace it. It is proven that LEDs can still last twice as long as the fluorescent, metal halide, and sodium vapour light. This durability can help to save some significant amount of money overtime.

2. Energy Efficiency

Another key benefit of using LED lighting is availability of energy-efficiency. LED lighting does not emit much waste unlike others. The energy efficiency of lighting devices can be measured in useful lumens in which much lumens are not going into waste, and you can only achieve this with LED lighting. You can be assured of 60 to 70% savings on your electrical energy consumption, if you choose LEDs as replacement in your school, office, home and other public infrastructures. You can expect higher energy savings of up to 90%; however this depends on the type of light you are replacing and the LED light you intend to use.

Once your energy-efficiency is improved, the improvement will also reach your financial savings. As you change the traditional lighting to LEDs, you are in the process of investing to have more left to cater for your future energy needs.

3. Improved Environmental Performance

Now, the whole element on earth are giving way to their environmentally friendly options. In fact customers now go for the product and service that possess environmentally friendly elements in it. In this same way, if you adopt an environmentally friendly lighting source, you can attract a socially conscious consumer base.

You would also enjoy an advantageous edge because of the manufacturer make up of LEDs lighting. Unlike LEDs, other sources of lighting, like the fluorescent lighting and mercury vapor lights, use mercury as their base of functioning. As a result, at the time of their expiration, special handling techniques are required to handle them. However, you won’t need to worry about any special handling techniques in case of LED lighting.

4. The Ability to Operate in Cold Conditions

In the case of the traditional lighting source, like the fluorescent bulb, lower temperature affects the effectiveness of the lighting devices. This is because as the temperature becomes lower and cold, more electrical voltage would be needed to power it well. However, LEDs sources of lighting perform still excellently well during extreme weather conditions. They are proven to even perform up to 5% better. And this is why they are suitable to be used in cold areas, such as refrigerators, parking lots, freezers, meat lockers and cold storage.

5. No Heat or UV Emissions

You can remember how hot the incandescent bulb used to be when in use. This is because the traditional lighting systems convert 90% of their electrical energy into heat energy and change just a few percent into light energy.

However, LEDs lighting sources emit little-to-no heat, and this makes them suitable for preventing SAD, Seasonal Affective Disorder, which is majorly rampant during darker periods of the year due to much exposure to incandescent light.
