LED lights are the need of every home. LED lights provide a wide range of advantages. It is a solid state lighting device. It works on semiconductor material which utilizes much less amount of electricity. LED lights use a driver(semiconductor chip) which changes AC to DC(Alternating current to direct current). Each DC operating device utilizes much less energy as compared to other AC products. For example conventional bulbs of 60 W of energy but nowadays LED bulbs consume 9 W. Older bulbs are an AC device on the other hand LED bulbs or lights work on DC. I listed some important benefits of LED lights over conventional lighting.

1) Higher Energy Efficiency

LED lights generally consume very low amounts of power.The amount of light emitted per unit of Power(watts) consumed by LED light. This is called luminous efficacy. It means it consumes less energy and produces more light. When it comes to Industrial or office application efficiency plays a major role.

2) Longer Life Span

LED lights have 50000 operating hours to 100000 operating hours which is much far better than old conventional lights. It has lower maintenance. Old filaments weaken before as the time increases and so delicate. But in today’s world LEDs have a small chip and a heat sink inside which provide stability to the lights and make it run for 2–3 yrs.

3) Safety For Space

It provides safety for workplaces because it doesn’t have tangled wires and connections. It is easy to change lights as per need. It doesn’t get too hot. Replacement of parts is easy. If we talk about bulky halogen lamps. Those lamps can harm people and are a delicate item.But if we are using LED flood lights it’s easy to handle even in rainy season.LED lights never blast and provide white light which is good for eyes.

4) Different Correlated Color Temperature (CCT)

LED lights are available in 3 color temperatures which are Warm White, Neutral White and Cool white.These 3 colors help in decorating a variety of shops and showrooms. These are the basic color of LED lights.Warm white is a yellowish light which is used in track lights and spot lights etc. Cool white lights are used for home and streets.

Its changes its color as the temperature of led changes. Higher kelvin gives brighter light.

5) It Cheaper Than Conventional Lighting

It may cost you a bit higher at the initial stage. But as long as you use these lights it reduces your electricity bill, overall maintenance cost and glows your lights last longer to 2–3 yrs. It is the green revolution in the field of lighting.

Cheaper and Better

6) High Brightness and Intensity

It provides high directional lighting with high brightness. It uses all light and glows in 180 degrees which reduces light leakage. If you want to purchase LED lights for high brightness then look for high lumen output lights. Higher the lumen higher the brightness and intensity. Nowadays people are buying lights in comparing lumen output

The glowing area covered by LED lights is more than past lighting lamp

LED lights have major advantages when they are used with solar panels. Solar panels convert sun energy to electrical energy. Solar panels are able to provide electricity to home because LED lights work at low wattage. Led lights consume less wattage and are brighter. This is all advantages you must know before using lights for home and office.

Solar Panels are compatible with LED lights and provide light with no extra cost.
