LED is the
most exciting technological advancement in field of lightning. They are small,
energy efficient and live longer than traditional bulbs. They are very compact,
durable which makes them choice of most people thinking of saving energy as
well as money. These lights can have in wide variety of applications in
residential areas, aerospace, automotive, aviation, architectural,
broadcasting, electronic instrumentation, gaming, industrial automation,
military, traffic, safety and transportation. Earlier they were not as
inexpensive as they are now. So, they were not considered for such uses. Let us
look at some of the benefits of LED over traditional lights.
Reduced power consumption
The cheap LED light bulbs
not only consume power less than incandescent bulbs but also less than compact
fluorescent bulbs. The cost of these LED bulbs may seem higher initially but
lower power consumption has made the cost significantly low if seen from a long
term perspective. With the use of LED, the amount of electricity bills will
drastically go down.
Longevity
LED has
life span of approximately 60,000 hours as compared to traditional bulbs whose
life span is 1500 hours. The long lifespan of LED will reduce the maintenance
charges and other operating cost which is much needed in traditional bulbs.
This is another advantage which makes LED bulbs cost effective.
Durability
These are
solid state lighting devices which employs semi conductor material whereas other
bulbs use filament or neon gas. They have tiny chip encapsulated in epoxy resin
enclosure which makes it study enough. Since, LED does not use fragile filament
, they are able to cope up with shock, pressure and extreme temperature.
Safe and Environment friendly
Another
positive aspect of LED bulbs is that they are not only safe for human beings
but also for environment. They are eco friendly as they are made up of non
toxic material unlike fluorescent lights which uses mercury. On this LED bulbs
are recyclable. There is no emission of UV rays from LED lights which makes it
more popular than other lightning options available.
Available in Variety
As they
are popular, LED are available in wide variety of sizes and colors which makes
them more exciting. One may choose according to the requirements like festive
seasons, normal requirements, night clubs, office uses and so on.
Now days,
most people are not concerned with the rates of LED bulbs as they have numerous
advantages over traditional bulbs.
