LEDs are better for the environment than incandescent lights. Benefits of LED without replacing all existing fixtures. Just screw in lightbulbs with screw in LED bulbs. Here are 7 things to know before switching to LED lighting:
LED Lights Last and Save Money
LED is more expensive than incandescent bulbs, but with prices dropping, LEDs are a long term investment. Some LED lights can last 20 years (or longer) with average use before they begin to dim, as opposed to a 2 year life for incandescents.
LEDs Use Less Energy
LED reduces the amount of energy consumption by 70-90%.
Flexible With LED Light Direction
Incandescent bulbs shine light all over. LED lighting is directional, for better focus of light where needed.
Range of LED Color Temperatures
Lower the number of Kelvins (K), warmer and more yellow the light. The higher the Kelvins, the cooler and bluer light. Bluer for more natural light or “daylight” bulbs for bedside reading lamp.
LEDs are Dimmable
Most LEDs are dimmable. LED driver quality and compatibility with control are 2 factors that determine true dimming performance for LED night light bulb.
