When you are looking for the best lighting system for your home, office or outdoor space, you may want to consider installing LED lighting systems. Light emitting diodes are highly efficient. This is because most of the energy they consume is used to produce light as opposed to heat. In fact, over 80% of energy consumed by LEDs is converted to light compared to incandescent lighting systems, which only use 20% of energy consumed to produce light. The rest is lost as heat energy.
LEDs are incredibly durable and can illuminate a space for over 20,000 hours continuously. Incandescent lamps, on the other hand, will overheat and burn out within 6,000 hours. This translates to high replacement costs. In addition to that, LEDs are Eco-friendly in that they consume less energy, do not contain any mercury or heavy metals, and the material used are 100% recyclable.
