The lighting efficiency of the high power LED light bulbs is more than eight times that of incandescent lights, and twice as high as compact fluorescent lights. LED bulbs also emit a much higher percentage of light in the desired direction. This makes them an even more efficient alternative to incandescent or fluorescent light bulbs for task lighting, desk lamps, reading lights, spotlights, flood lights, and track lighting.
LED light benefits expand to areas other than home lighting as well. For example, the efficient energy qualities of LED bulbs, with their brighter light and longer life, have already replaced standard bulbs in many of the nation's traffic lights. In addition, considering using LED lights during the Christmas holiday is also a smart energy conservation idea. This is because LED bulbs use 90 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs and 75 percent less than the mini-lights used for holiday decorations. LED bulbs are also cooler in temperature and energy efficient during the time of year when energy use rises significantly, so using LED lighting the summer time will be very beneficial. LED lanterns and LED flashlights are also great for camping and hunting as well as a vital part of any home emergency kit. With LED lighting implementation your family will not need to worry about batteries running out in the middle of use because LED flashlights and LED lanterns use less energy meaning your standard batteries will last significantly longer. LED light bulbs also generate very little unwanted heat. Thus energy savings may be doubled for your air conditioning and other utility costs since each watt of incandescent lighting can add another watt or more to the power needed for air conditioning and other power related activities.
