Why are GU10 LED Lights popular these days?

GU10 LED light bulbs are common these days. You can find it used in most of the homes and offices. LED lights are extremely power efficient and lasts longer than the incandescent bulbs or CFLs. It was during the 18th century that the first light bulb was invented. The traditional bulbs consume electricity on a high level. Bringing out bulbs that consumed less electricity with the highest efficiency became the prime concern these years. Moreover, researches were going on to produce bulbs that are eco friendly.
 
Why pay for the lost heat energy

Incandescent lamps were mostly used for long time all round the world. But it was extremely power consuming and generated a large amount of heat. It can be seen that majority of the input power was wasted in the form of heat. On the whole, we were paying more for the heat lost due to the lighting of bulbs rather than the energy used for lighting up them.

The coming of CFLs

CFLs soon gained popularity in the market. CFL or Compact Fluorescent lights were actually brought in the market to replace the incandescent lights. But it was not durable and was not at all safe, since they contained mercury which was very poisonous and hence was very risky. Yet another defect of the CFLs was that it lost its brightness with the passage of time.


LEDs replacing CFLs and Incandescent light bulbs

LEDs or Light Emitting Diodes were invented as a replacement for CFLs. LEDs worked with the help of diodes that helped in producing light without emitting large amount of heat. the power that was consumed for the purpose of lighting up was used up completely to light up the bulbs and heat emission is very much low. Hence it is more power efficient and economic too.

GU10 lights- A popular variety of LED lights

GU10 LED Lights is one of the widely accepted types of light. They have dual pin and are turn and lock kind. Since it has gained a wide popularity all round the globe, GU10 lights are found in common these days. The wonderful feature of these bulbs is that they are found in a variety of colours and they have different brightness levels to suit your different requirements. These lights can be used for both indoors and outdoors. They have the capability of lasting for longer hours, and do not consume more amount of power.
