The advantages of upgrading to LED lamps and fixtures

The incandescent/Fluorescent lighting in homes does not offer the advantages of LED LAMPS. Keep reading to learn how LED lamps and light fixtures are the superior choice.

LED lasts longer…

The one pro to upgrading to LED lamps is their lifespan. LED lamps have more longevity and a longer operational life. So much so, if you were to leave an LED lamp on for 8 hours daily, it would be close to 20 years before that lamp needs replacing!

LED is more durable

An amazing quality of LED lamps unlike incandescent is that they are break resistant. Most lighting is contained in glass which can be easily damaged. Almost all LED lamps are made of plastic. LED lamps can also handle rough weather conditions such as wind and rain. LED lamps are extremely durable.

LED offers better light quality

Without an external reflector needed, well-designed LED lighting can deliver light more effectively to the desired area. There is little to no wait time for an LED to fully illuminated, unlike fluorescents which can take 2-5 minutes to be at full brightness.

LED is energy efficient

In conventional lighting such as fluorescents and incandescent, only about 80-90% of the off-putting energy is converted to light. This means 10-20% of the remaining energy is converted into heat, making these lamps extremely hot and causing your air conditioning unit to work harder to cool the space. LED offers a Minimal heat solution.
