What are LED Lights
Light-emitting diode (LED) is a highly energy efficient type of lighting that operates by a semiconductor converting electricity into light. LED offers equivalent (or better) quality lighting in comparison to other types of lighting and is an affordable and cost-effective energy solution for your home or business.
LED bulbs can last up to 25 times longer than traditional light bulbs, be up to six times more energy efficient than conventional incandescent lights plus can reduce your home or businesses energy consumption by more than 80 percent.
Their distinctive features include being small, easily maintained, durable plus their ability to focus lighting in any direction. The fast expansion of LED technology is resulting in a larger range of products and an improvement in manufacturing efficiency.
Currently used in a variety of home and industrial products her are some of the common types of LED uses:
Outdoor, Commercial and Industrial Uses
Many businesses choose LED lighting because of their high energy efficiency plus their long-lasting capabilities, with most LED lights lasting between 15,000 and 50,000 hours depending on the globe. Recessed downlights are commonly used in office and commercial settings which allows businesses to do their part in cutting greenhouse gas emissions and reducing landfill.
Traffic Signals, Display Screens and Cabinets, Sporting Stadiums, Vehicle Brake Lights are just a few examples of where LED lighting can be seen.
Residential Lighting
Being compact and able to be manoeuvred to shine in a chosen direction makes LED lights a popular choice for homeowners. Kitchens are a popular space for recessed LED lighting to be used to light bench tops or meal preparation areas. LED lights reach full brightness instantly making them a great choice to place in bathrooms around or above mirrors where personal grooming takes place. LED lights can also be used as a design feature above or around cabinetry and as they operate at a significantly cooler temperature than halogen lights, they are a safer option too.
