An LED Lighting fixture is a light emitting diode which is an excellent electrically powered source of light. With a noticeable increasing popularity among customers, LED light fixtures can be as efficient as 90 lumens per watt with certain latest LED light fixtures offering luminous efficiency that can reach up to 160 lumens per watt.
LED fixtures are generally not that bright due to the presence of low-pressured sodium lights. These sodium lights are the ones that are used as street lights usually. LED lights are also used in homes and offices.
LED lights work by making use of the power obtained through movement of electrons in order to generate light. This is a more efficient way of producing light than the more conventional light bulbs that use fragile filaments that might break off any moment.
To understand the mechanism of LED bulbs you need to know the fact that when the photons are released in the outer direction, the diode focuses light via the end of a bulb that is made of plastic and this in turn produces light.
There are many advantages of using an LED fixture for almost all kinds of purposes. Apart from being comparatively smaller, LED fixtures are highly durable and last longer than normal light bulbs. Moreover, there is no presence of mercury in such bulbs hence there is no risk of any hazards either.
The average light produced by an LED fixture is a lot more than that of an incandescent bulb so a higher efficiency is obtained. In addition to that, LED light fixtures do not produce much heat as a normal bulb would and hence can be used in almost all kinds of locations.
The reason why LED light fixtures are usually more long-lasting is that they make use of plastic bulbs to house the diodes which are the source of power. The diodes are safe inside these bulbs and therefore protected as well. Another reason is that LED lighting consumes only one third of the electricity needed for a conventional bulb but still last longer than them.
A recent study has indicated that those who use LED lighting fixtures in their homes show higher levels of alertness than those who use normal incandescent lights. For those who are energy conscious, LED’s are a great choice as they save up a lot of energy in addition to being very comfortable and relaxing.
