7 WAYS IN WHICH LED LIGHTS CAN HELP YOU LIVE A BETTER LIFE

WHAT IS LED :

A light emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor light source that emits light when the current is flowed through it. Such an assembly of one or more LEDs, when used in a light fixture, make up an LED light bulb.

It goes without saying that LED lights have taken over the whole market of plentiful fluorescent lights since its emergence from 1964, and have loomed large with the latest technological advancements. 

ADVANTAGES:

An LED light has proven to be far more successful and functional than most of the other varieties. Some of the most promising features of LED lights are as follows: Unlike fluorescent lights, LED does not take time to reach its optimal operation, that is, come to full brightness, not requiring any warm up delay.

1.As seen with fluorescent lights, they lose their life expectancy if they are switched on and off frequently. It is not an issue with LED lights as they suffer no harm from switching frequency, hence have longer live .Some LED lamps are designed in a way that they can be readily used as drop-in replacements for fluorescent or incandescent lamps.

2.These solid and small bulbs are powerful, energy efficient and longer lasting. You must have heard volumes about their efficiency and multi-functionality. When compared to other traditional lighting solutions, you find that not only do they benefit you economically and in many other ways on an individual level, but they also serve a bigger purpose towards Mother Nature. 

Here are some illuminating ways how LED lights help you live a better life:

1. EFFICIENCY

LED light bulbs are power packed and require upto 90% lesser energy to operate than most incandescent lights. Since they work on inexpensive energy than an incandescent bulb, you observe a considerable reduction in power usage and hence power cost. Consequence of which is an appreciable decrease in monthly electricity bills, saving both- your money and energy.

2.LONGER LIFESPAN

The average lifespan of an LED light bulb is nearly 60,000 hours, whereas that of an incandescent bulb is just 15,000 hours. An LED can go on for as long as seven years before needing replacement. On an average, an LED bulb can light for about ten times more than a fluorescent bulb and 133 times more than an incandescent bulb. Such incredible longevity of the LED lights make them low maintenance along with lower long-term operation cost, ridding you of those costs.

3.STURDINESS

In place of halide-mercury amalgam or filament and neon gas, LEDs use semiconductor material and that makes them a solid express lighting devices. An LED light is nothing but a tiny chip typified in an epoxied plant enclosure, making it sturdier than neon or incandescent bulbs

4.HARMLESS TO HEALTH

Where tube lights, neon bulbs and CFLs contain harmful and poisonous components like mercury, LEDs contain no such thing and hence, cause no harm to your health. On the larger perspective, CFLs that release harmful substances in the atmosphere, thus depleting the ozone layer, LEDs are environment friendly with lowest emissions.

5.ZERO UV EMISSION AND HEATING ISSUES

We already know that Ultraviolet rays cause great harm to human health if left for prolonged exposure. You would not want to compromise your and your family’s health whatsoever. Switching to LED lighting eliminates some of these health issues with insignificant amount of infrared rays and almost zero UV emission. They are smaller in size than most incandescent lights, require less energy and thus, produce less heat so much so that you can touch it with your bare hands.

6.COLOURS 

With their semiconductor material, it is very easy to produce LEDs in a wide range of colours by simply overlapping the semiconductors. Whereas, in case of incandescent lights, a number of filters are used in creating the colours and the process and its results are not always health friendly.

7.REDUCES E -WASTE

Around 20 to 50 million tonnes of e-waste is disposed off every year. It takes forever for them to decompose. Switching to LED is our abetment towards lesser generation of e-waste and land pollution. LEDs are tiny in size, longer lasting and do not need frequent replacing. Not only are they cost effective but are thoroughly nature friendly.

To conclude, LED lighting is lead and mercury free, that alone indicates how health and environment friendly they are. They use minimum power, demand zero maintenance and can last for more than ten years, saving a fair amount of money. With negligible emission of harmful rays like infrared and UV, they are an exemplary and essential lighting solution we need to opt for. They remain unaffected by temperature fluctuations, hence work optimally in colder regions or in winters as well. LED lights are our investments for a better life for us and our planet.
