Is LED Lighting Right For You?
Is LED Lighting Right For You?
To find out, we’ll explore each of the following factors in lighting decisions:
Efficacy
LED lighting offers higher lumens/watt than any other light source readily available today. This equates to lower energy cost for the end user.
Lamp Life
Today’s LEDs have been designed to last for 50,000-100,000+ hours. Luminaires lasting 100,000 hours could be kept on continuously for 11 years before needing to be replaced.
Longer lamp life means lower maintenance costs.
Uniformity of Lighting
LED luminaires are designed to uniformly light areas. Hot spots can be virtually eliminated, resulting in a more pleasing, uniform lighting pattern.
Variety
LED luminaires are available in a wide variety of color temperatures and CRI to meet your needs.
Functionality
Most LED luminaires are dimmable without any extra devices or added cost required.
LEDs do not lose life when cycled on and off the way fluorescent lamps do.
Technology
LED lighting is a quickly evolving lighting technology, with most lighting manufacturers devoting a huge majority of their R&D to LED.
Color changing LEDs are available for specialty applications.
