Green solutions are becoming more and more affordable and accessible. So, it should be no surprise that home and business owners alike are increasingly turning to energy-saving and environmentally friendly options.
When it comes to lighting, LEDs are the most energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly option on the market.
Nevertheless, as with any other product, there are pros to using LED, and there are cons. Here are a few things to consider.
Benefits of LED:
They can last up to 50,000 hours—much longer than incandescent or CFL bulbs. LEDs are also extremely energy-efficient.
LEDs are frequently likened to CFL bulbs. But LEDs last longer and use less energy, and don’t contain mercury, unlike CFLs.
LED bulbs can produce a vast array of colors and brightnesses, so you can almost certainly find the perfect one for every space.
They produce negligible heat.
Retrofit adapters are available for almost all types of lighting fixtures.
They are more environmentally-friendly. They last longer, don’t result in the emission of as much CO2, and don’t contain any toxic materials.
LEDs don’t contain glass, and can’t shatter dangerously.
Are LED Fixtures Right for You?
Particular areas of your home or office might benefit more from LED lighting than others. Areas where changing bulbs is problematic are good candidates for LEDs, as well as areas where the quality of the light (tint) isn’t as important, such as outdoor areas.
Once you’ve installed your new LED fixtures, you can enjoy energy-efficient lighting with almost no maintenance.
