LED home lighting is something a lot of people are using today. Many of them just use it for specific applications (i.e. lighting Christmas decorations). However, a lot of these same people do not even realize that using LED lighting in other areas of the house is doable as well. There are a number of advantages to doing this.
LED vs.Traditional lightsThe main difference between regular lights and LED is that the former ones waste as much as 98% of the electricity they get through heat. On
the other hand, LED uses almost all the electricity for lighting. Virtually none of it gets wasted from heat.
However, traditional lighting sources are better for lighting large areas, because they shine in every direction. LED is only able to shine in one direction. This is why they are often used as spotlights. LED is also more durable, and in many instances they can last for 30+ years.
As you might expect because of the efficiency, LED lights are much cheaper. The price for the lifespan of the light is probably going to be less than the bulb itself cost upfront.
This is in stark contrast to traditional light sources, which are very expensive to use due to all the wasted energy. In fact, with standard lights you will generally spend about 500 times of the initial expense over the lifespan of the lights.
LED lights are also very safe. There is almost no fire danger at all, due to the lack of heat they produce. This makes them ideal spot lamps. They are far better than the halogen lamps many people use as spotlights. Halogen lamps are actually very inefficient, and you will waste a huge amount of money with them.
How to use LED lights
The reality is that they are not efficient for lighting the entire house, due to their inability to shine in every direction. However, they are very effective for displaying shelves in the kitchen, along with the sink and maybe the stove. If you are currently using halogen lamps for these applications, you can save plenty of money with LED.
Conclusion
LED home lighting can save you a significant amount of money over their lifespan. If you want an energy efficient, durable, and affordable light source LED lights are the best option.
