LIGHT EMITTING DIODES

Also known as LEDs, these solid light bulbs aim to provide the best of all worlds for illumination purposes. When compared to traditional incandescent light bulbs, LEDs hold numerous advantages. Read on to see why these bulbs, while slightly more costly up front, are a much better choice for your residential lighting needs.

EXCEPTIONAL EFFICIENCY

Incandescent bulbs relied on the wattage supply to determine their overall brightness. If your 40-watt bulb is not bright enough for an application, you can simply double down and buy an 80-watt device to get the job done. Unfortunately, this wattage increase directly correlates to energy usage. LED bulbs, on the other hand, are able to deliver more illumination with much less energy needed. In fact, light emitting diode bulbs require up to 90 percent less power to provide the same results. When you consider the big picture of every consumer using LED bulbs, the end result will be an energy demand for bulbs that is a tenth of what it used to be. This can have a major impact on our ecological footprint!

LENGTHY LONGEVITY

As stated previously, LED bulbs do cost more at checkout. This fact is a driving force behind why incandescent bulbs are still popular today. Simple math at this stage will help you to understand why LEDs are much more preferable:

  • Incandescent bulbs last between 1,000 and 2,000 hours. If you use this bulb eight hours a day assuming it lasts 2,000 hours, you will need to replace that bulb every 250 days.

    LED bulbs are rated to last up to 60,000 hours. At eight hours a day in usage, this one bulb will last 7,500 days. That’s just over 2 decades of longevity!

  • LED bulbs are rated to last about 133 times longer than incandescent bulbs. When you compare the price of one of these modern lighting options to buying 133 standard bulbs, it’s easy to see why investing in the more expensive option is actually much more economical. When combined with the 90 percent in energy savings, it’s easy to see why this choice is such a no-brainer!
