Why is LED lighting better?

Do LED Lights Really Save Money?

It cannot be stressed how energy efficient LED lighting is compared to the traditional options. Comparatively, a ten watt LED bulb can give the same amount of output as a sixty watt incandescent light bulb. To be sure, the benefits of LED lighting also overtake the disadvantages by a wide margin. While having a higher upfront cost, the bulbs make the cost back up by having an average cost of twelve cents for every kilowatt used per hour. To put it in another way, it will only cost you thirty dollars by the time it runs for twenty-five thousand hours. Additional advantages also include:

• Household lighting efficiency 
• Low maintenance 
• Environmentally friendly
• Lack of produced heat
• Minimal power consumption
• Brighter
• Long lifespan

LED lighting tends to beat out any competition thanks to their amazingly long lifespan that can go up to a hundred thousand hours, generally lasting for years of regular use without having to be changed. Many customers also sing the praise of the lights with their multiple options in color and shape. Often producing a softer form of light than what comes out traditionally from other kinds of light. While there are various types of LED bulbs across various industries, it is easy to find just the one you need for a longer lasting and more efficient light source.

Why are LED Lights so Bright?

There are various misconceptions and myths surrounding LED lighting that often steer away those that would enjoy the benefits they can provide. The truth is, any person that stares at a light bulb or a source of light will be a victim to some sort of health malady. The reason is that many people often do not realize that LED lighting is far brighter at the same wattage than traditional lighting. The problem then persists when there is no method to dim the installed light bulbs. Now, the most common myths that have to do with that and plague this modern form of lighting tend to be as such:

• Are LED lights safe for human eyes?
• Do LED lights give people headaches?
• Can LED lights work in the cold?

Many have risen up to answer these questions without any sort of knowledge to back up their claims affirming that gives LED lights a negative connotation. However, these questions can be easily answered with only a minor amount of knowledge on the subject. All lights, as mentioned, can have a negative effect on a person’s eyes if a person has to spend a significant amount of time with the source in their view. LED lights are in fact safe for a person’s eyes in normal circumstances just like any other type of light. On the accusation of LED lights giving a person headaches, there is a bit of an explanation behind that. When a regular light turns off and on quickly, it only goes down to thirty percent light output before reverting back to full output. LED lighting shuts off completely and all the way back on, causing an interruption to the light source reaching your eyes. When there are interruptions to the light reaching the eyes, that can give you a headache and should be investigated when there are flickering lightbulbs. The problem is more than likely never occur because of the lightbulb. When installed in cold climates, modern LED lighting turns on effectively just as it does in warm settings.
