LED Benefits
- Long life, if used in a suitable environment.
- Saving future maintenance & cost.
- Dramatically higher efficiency & lower power usage compared to incandescent lights (up to 80% cheaper to run). Good LEDs can produce 100 lumens of light per watts of electricity. Halogens are more around 10 to 15 lumens per watt. Here is a list of the most efficient LEDs.
- Very lower infra-red and ultraviolet output. It means a lower fire risk.
- Typically faster switching time and less likely to be damaged by on off cycles
- A direct retrofit solution is now available for almost all types of light fixtures
- They are usually more rugged. There is normally no glass to break and no filament to damage via vibration.
- They are more environmentally friendly. They last longer, don't result in the emissions of as much CO2 and normally don't contain any toxic materials, like the mercury vapor in CFL.
- Some LEDs can be setup to dynamically change color, but this is not the norm for residential lighting.
- Some of them run cool enough to install under roof insulation, so there is less heat loss from breaking the insulation layer.
