In the lighting industry LED lights rule. In fact, they are quickly becoming the industry standard for a variety of reasons. It is important to note that LED lighting systems have many pros and cons that consumers and property owners should know about.
The Pros of LEDs
Light emitting diodes usually run on low power. This is because they only waste 20% of energy they consume and convert 80% to light energy. With incandescent lamps, 80% of energy is lost while only 20% is used to produce light. Secondly, they are extremely durable. Lastly, they are made from 100% recyclable materials.
The Cons of LEDs
The only con of LED lights is their cost. In the long term, however, they are much cheaper. In fact, the initial cost of installation can be recouped in a few months due to reduced energy bills and zero replacement costs.
