Reasons and Guidelines to Replace your Lighting Today!

LED- Light emitting diode was first discovered in 1927 by Oleg Losev, his research then got popular and finally in 1951 Kurt Lehovec, Carl Accardo and Edward Jamgochian explained the mechanism of a light emitting diode using an apparatus containing SiC crystals.

Since that time, LED has grown exponentially in the field of science throughout the world. It has developed and now it is available in every electronic store.

LEDs are used for different purposes for example:

• LED garage light.
• Outdoor light poles
• In Room lights.
• Sports light fixtures.
• Flood lights.
• Retro/party lights.

LEDs are better than any conventional lights like Fluorescent lighting, bulbs because of the following reasons:

• They are made from innocuous material, so they don’t harm the environment and reduces the carbon footprint.
• These lights have longer life as they don’t produce heat.
• They don’t produce unnecessary heat so every bit of energy is used in producing light, hence energy efficient.
• LED lights are shock and vibrations resistant hence are ideal for outdoor lighting.
• Unlike other traditional forms of light, LEDs does not emit UV radiation.
• They come in different designs and styles, so they are quite flexible.
• Individual diodes in a light can be controlled creating amazing patterns in light.
• It requires very low voltage to shine and saves power.
• It is resistant to any form of weather and that is the reason all the traffic signals are of LED lights.

If you are planning to change the harmful lighting at your home and want to get the power of LED, here are few tips that can get you started?

• List all the type of lights you need or want to change.
• Lights like Bedroom light, lamps, bathroom lights, garage, kitchen, front porch etc.
• Look online for the LED light services and look for the popular ones in the field.
• Compare the rates offered by all the different companies.
• Check for the warranty policies provided by various firms.
• Read reviews about the company that you think may provide the best products.
• See if the company is charging for installation as well or not, some companies might give you free installation as it sometime gets difficult to change them by yourself.
• Once you are satisfied make the deal with right organization before making sure about any hidden or extra charges. 

LED- The Example of Efficiency

Light Emitting Diode is a semi conductor which emits light when electricity is passed through it.  It was first discovered in 1907 but came in effective use by the year 1962. In the modern world, LEDs are being used in high numbers and slowly are taking over the traditional fluorescent lighting.  Today, LED lightings are available for every possible utility. 

Some of the famous LED lights are as follows: 

• LED Area and Flood lights
• LED retro kits
• Parking lot lights
• LED sports lighting
• High bay lights
• Low bay lights

These lights are better than the traditional lights in every possible way. There are several reasons why LED is slowly taking away the lighting market. Lets discuss some of these factors about these lightings.

Environment Friendly

LEDs are made from toxic free material, which makes them eco friendly. Fluorescent lights contain a lot of harmful elements such as mercury which are highly dangerous for one’s health and also pollutes the environment. Whereas, LED lights are made from recyclable material which puts LED up front in this case.   

Free of Ultra Violet Radiations

Most conventional lightings emit ultra violet rays, the same rays which are found in sun which are capable of causing skin cancer. These rays are shielded by our ozone but the fluorescent lights produce these rays inside our homes. Thus, LED is better as it does not emit any kind of ultra violet radiation.

Works on low voltage

We are in phase of time where saving energy is very important as we have been burning our resources rapidly.  LEDs work on very low voltage saving a lot of energy than traditional lighting and saving energy means saving money as well, thus it becomes a better choice.

No wastage of energy

A traditional bulb or fluorescent lights burn a lot of energy in generating heat which is the reason why we feel hot if we touch a recently switched off light. But LEDs are efficient and does not waste any energy in the form of heat, thus making it a better source of light.
