Wire Monkey believes that LEDs are the future of lighting, because low voltage is the future of LED.
LED Lighting?:
Energy Efficiency
- LED’s save you energy costs
- LED lighting uses up to 85% less electricity than incandescent bulbs
- LED lighting uses up to 50% less electricity than fluorescent bulbs to create the same amount of light
- LED lighting is more efficient, and lose less power by heat
Extended Life
- Unlike incandescent bulbs, LED’s don’t burn out they just dim about 20% over 5-15 years (depending on the quality)
- Quality LED’s lights have an extended lifespan of 30,000 – 50,000 hours, a typical incandescent bulb lasts only 1,000 hours
More Durable
- LED lighting solutions are much more resistant to breakage because they do not use filaments or glass, they use soldered leads like small electronics
- LED lighting solutions do not need a high-voltage ballast like fluorescents which have proven to be unreliable and require frequent replacement
Safer
- LED lighting solutions operate cooler than conventional light bulb’s and at a lower voltage than fluorescents which makes them much safer.
More colors
- LED lighting solutions have many different color LED bulbs are available, not just red, yellow green and white, but shades of white from cool to warm
- Newer LED lighting solutions now have controllers that allow some LEDs to change from white to any color in the spectrum for special moods and effects.
