The Benefits of Using LED Lights

Now you can find LED bulbs pretty much everywhere, including in home lighting, portable flashlights, and even emergency use Police Lights. With LED lights being so ubiquitous in everyday life, one could assume that there are some pretty large benefits to switching over to LED lighting options. It’s an easy assumption to make, and, in this case, it is very true that there are a significant number of benefits.

For one, LED lights consume a much smaller amount of energy than regular incandescent bulbs. Modern LED bulbs made for home use take only about twenty five percent of the energy that an incandescent bulb does. They also last about twenty-five times longer than other kinds of bulbs. According to energy.gov, widespread use of home LED lighting could save up to 30 billion dollars in energy costs by 2027. LED bulbs are also much more sturdy than incandescent and halogen bulbs. They have almost no moving parts, so they can take a lot of punishment before ceasing operation, unlike incandescent bulbs that require a fragile filament to function or halogen bulbs that are very brittle and prone to breaks.

LED lights are also very safe sources of light because they produce only a miniscule amount of heat. This is why they are used in so many different kinds of police lights and other first responder emergency vehicles. Incandescent bulbs output about 90 percent of their energy as heat, and halogen bulbs output about 80 percent of their energy as heat. In contrast, you could leave an LED bulb activated on a pile of dry leaves for hours with little to no risk of ignition. One fascinating fact about LEDs is that they only emit light in one direction, meaning that a very small LED light can illuminate an area much more efficiently than a larger incandescent light. This also means that you can use specialized LEDs to easily direct light in any direction, making them essential for task lighting and many other applications. Because they are so tough, LEDs are very commonly used in outdoor lighting and industrial applications like parking garages and streetlights.

The most common place we see LEDs is in holiday lighting. Because they produce little heat it is very safe to have many of them in a small area. Since they also use only a very small amount of energy, it is simple to have complex holiday lighting schemes without a huge electrical impact. One neat fact is that twenty-five strings of LED lights can be connected to a single outlet without the threat of an overload, and, according to energy.gov, you could likely use the same string of holiday lighting for up to forty years with no problem.
