Bright Ideas: 7 benefits of LED lighting
7 BENEFITS OF USING LED LIGHTING IN YOUR HOME
Here at Habitar Design, we use LED light bulbs in our very own office. LEDs are energy efficient, environmentally friendly, and have a long lifespan. Here are 7 reasons why you should switch to LEDs in your own home.
1. Long Lifetime
LED lights last up to 25 times longer than other types of light bulbs.
2. Energy Efficient
LEDs are 80%-90% more energy efficient when compared to traditional and conventional light bulbs.
3. Ecologically Friendly
LED lights are free of toxic chemicals and are 100% recyclable.
4. Durable
LEDs are extremely durable and can operate in extremely hot or cold temperatures, therefore working well in both indoor and outdoor applications.
5. Zero UV Emissions
LEDs produce close to no UV emissions.
6. Variety of Designs
LEDs can be manufactured in nearly any shape, which allows them to be used for many applications. They also have the ability to dim individually, which allows for a variety of options in regards to light distribution, effects, and control.
7. Low Voltage
LEDs only require a low-voltage power supply. This makes it easy to use in any area of your home. They also illuminate immediately and have the ability to be switched on and off frequently without affecting the bulbs overall lifetime.
