If you've been looking for ways to save money on electricity bills, you must have received recommendations to upgrade your home to LED lights.
While LED lights will certainly let you save on energy costs, there are other compelling reasons to switch to LED. Here are some of them.
LED Lights are energy efficient
In the age of climate change, everyone has a role to play in saving our planet. One of the cheapest and easiest ways to combat climate is to go energy-efficient.
LED bulbs are very energy efficient. They can produce the same level of brightness as incandescent and fluorescent bulbs, for much less energy. For example, you may only have to replace your 60-watt bulb with a 9-watt LED bulb!
They are long-lasting
No one likes the task of changing bulbs. And if you upgrade your home to LED lights, you won't have to change bulbs as much because LED lights last very long.
That's because they don't burn out like incandescent bulbs. Instead, they slowly go dim over a long time. On average, LED bulbs can last up to 20 years before you need to replace them!
LED lights can withstand the elements
For external applications, LED lights are way better. Constantly exposed to the harsh elements, bulbs need to be resistant to shock, water, shatter, and the like.
These qualities are all inherent in LED lights. Made of plastic instead of glass, LED bulbs won't shatter if they drop. They don't use neon or filaments, which are fragile. Rather, LEDs use chips, which are very suitable for the outdoors.
They can be customized
LED bulbs carry several features that make them more convenient and appealing. For instance, they come in a variety of colors.
Some LED bulbs have more than one color, enabling you to change colors according to your needs and mood. They also have dimming features that enable you to customize your space to your taste.
LED lights are safer for you and the environment
Ever got your fingers burnt by an incandescent bulb? You're not alone. Thankfully, this danger is eliminated with LED lights as they emit about 90% less heat.
In addition, LEDs do not contain mercury, unlike fluorescent bulbs, which can be harmful if not properly disposed of. While they may contain some metals, LED lights can be trashed easily.
They save you money
Perhaps the most mouthwatering benefit, LED lights can save you money! Because they give off less heat in the home or office, your AC will do less hard work removing heat, using less electricity in the process.
LED lights also require less energy to produce the same level of brightness as incandescent or fluorescent bulbs. So switching to LED lighting will translate to reduced energy bills every month!
