One of the biggest advantages of using LED lights is that they have a much longer lifespan compared to traditional bulbs. So, if you are not a big fan of having to replace to light bulbs every few months, hop on to the LED bandwagon without a second thought.
When it comes to longevity, incandescent bulbs are no match to LED light bulbs. Generally speaking, incandescent bulbs don’t last for more than a year (their average lifespan is 1,000 hours). And often, they go kaput on you when you least expect it to happen or when it is most inconvenient. Moreover, replacing bulbs, particularly those that are installed in hard-to-reach corners is quite a task.
If you switch to LED light bulbs, you won’t have to worry about switching bulbs every few months. That’s because they are built to last a long time. LED light bulbs can easily last 25,000 to 30,000 hours (if not more). That means you won’t have to worry about replacing them for several years.
To put things in perspective, LED light bulbs on average last 30 times longer than incandescent bulb.Anyone who has used incandescent bulbs heat up very fast. This happens because they waste 70% to 80% energy they consume as heat. Since LED light bulbs are far more energy efficient, converting 80% of energy they consume to light, you won’t encounter such problems with them.
However, keep in mind that LED light bulbs do generate heat. Anything that consumes electricity does that, so that is not something to be surprised about. The good part is that LED light bulbs produce just a fraction of heat produced by incandescent bulbs.
When it comes to doing your bit for the environment, small actions can make a telling difference. Take, for instance, the lighting in your home. Did you know switching to LED light bulbs can help you reduce your carbon footprint considerably?
One of the main benefits of LED lighting technology is that it is environmentally friendly. Incandescent and other traditional bulbs use toxic materials—but not LED light bulbs. Because they are free of toxic materials, they are good for the environment, as well as for your family.
LED light bulbs don’t contain mercury, which is present in traditional bulbs. As you may know, mercury is a toxic element and exposure to it can be very harmful. Since there’s no mercury in LED light bulbs, disposing them is not a problem. Also, LED light bulbs use less energy, which augurs well for our already-fragile environment.
Now that you know the benefits of LED lighting on the environment, it’s time you embrace it wholeheartedly.
