Why are LEDs the preferred choice?
LEDs, or Light Emitting Diodes, are solid state devices that use semi-conductor technology to release energy in the form of light when an electrical current is passed through them. LEDs are extremely durable and last much longer than incandescent and fluorescent lighting – reducing waste and saving you money. Not to mention the additional savings you can experience due to the energy efficiency of LEDs!
Because LED lights are highly energy-efficient, you’ll find this can quickly translate into reduced electricity bills and lower energy consumption overall, making them an eco-friendly lighting option. They are even more energy efficient than fluorescent lighting and, unlike fluoro-lights, they contain no mercury and do not pose a bio-hazard.
In terms of light quality, LEDs are bright and offer instantaneous illumination – no warming-up period or flickering. This makes them particularly useful in security and sensor activated lighting and lighting for precision tasks. Or even just by the bedside for reading – LEDs can suit every lighting need of your home or business.
In addition to their versatile uses, there are more control options with LED lighting so you can customise your lighting experience further. LED lights are dimmable and come in a large range of white shades and even vibrant colours. The popularity of LEDs means they are available in a wide range of shapes and sizes allowing further customisation of your lighting.
LEDs also have the added benefit of not emitting UV light like other globes do. This makes them a perfect lighting option for commercial areas used for stock storage or display. As well as for properties with wallpaper, feature walls, paintings and photographs as you will not have to worry about UV related fading from your lights.
