Seven reasons why companies should use LED lamps on their premises

03 / 02 / 2020

Lighting is an essential element of every building, site, and offices. There are many types of lighting devices, ranging from traditional incandescent lamps to LED, halogen and compact fluorescent lamps (CFL), on the market. For obvious reasons, LED lamps have become the most preferable choice for schools, libraries, and government buildings. They not just save money, time, and power but are also environmentally friendly.

Here are the seven reasons why you should consider using LED lamps:

1. Energy efficiency

LED lamps are much more energy efficient than other lighting devices, such as halogen and compact fluorescent lamps. Due to the minimal power consumption (LEDs light up instantly), they generate less heat and thus reduce the need for air conditioning and cooling systems.

2. Durability

LED lamps have a remarkable service life compared to other types of lighting devices. An average service life of LEDs exceeds 50,000 hours, which is 25 time longer than the service life of incandescent and halogen lamps, and thrice longer than that of CFLs. Certain types of LEDs can work for up to 200,000 hours. Besides, they are produced without glass bulbs and filaments, which increases their durability.

3. Eco-friendliness

In contrast to CFLs and fluorescent lamps, LEDs do not contain mercury vapor and phosphorus and do not require special disposal techniques. The long service life of LEDs reduces the amount of waste generated by packaging, transportation, and other production stages. The higher energy efficiency of LEDs reduces energy consumption and minimizes CO2 emissions.

4. Cost effectiveness

LEDs have been a highly priced commodity for a long period of time but things are changing. Considering their advantages, LEDs quickly pay off. A lamp could be used for up to 34 years in the event of the standard eight-hour work pattern. You will also cut your electricity bills, since LEDs have the same brightness as incandescent lamps but ten times less power, and consume half as much electricity as fluorescent lamps.

5. Low operational costs

LEDs not only cut power consumption but also reduce operational costs. In contrast to traditional lighting devices, which suddenly run out of order, LEDs can burn out only because of poor build quality.

6. Stable lighting quality

LEDs provide the same quality of lighting throughout their service life. The LED designed to serve for 50,000 hours will not go out when its time runs out. It will start losing brightness until you will no longer be able to use it. The microchip technology used by LEDs instead of a heated filament maintains light quality. You can be sure that bulbs won’t start flickering as time passes. What is more, voltage drops have no impact on LEDs. Such lamps work evenly irrespective of how many volts are in the grid.

7. Wide color range

Pleasant warm light of traditional lamps (2800 ° K) is a matter of common knowledge.

The color temperature of LED lamps ranges from 1800 ° K to 6000 ° K. That is, you can pick up an LED lamp of any tone: cold, neutral, warm. Or, using a dimmer switch, adjust the lamp to 10% of their optimal power, creating a much softer light.
