Designers consider LED as the future of lighting technology. As a matter of fact, LED is already gaining popularity even if it is still in the process of development. Because of the strong campaign towards green living, consumers are now switching to more reliable and energy-efficient type of lighting. At the present more and more households are now starting to patronize LED lights for their home design and lighting needs. Below are the reasons why LED solar lighting is starting to outshine the conventional lighting product like incandescent light bulbs and fluorescent bulbs.
How Efficient LED Solar Lighting Is?
Compared to the traditional lighting products LED solar lights are more energy-efficient. First, LED bulbs require very little amount of energy to function than incandescent and fluorescent bulbs. Second, it creates an amazing illumination per watt than the conventional kind of bulbs. With the increasing cost of energy today and the intensifying environmental consciousness in consumers, greater efficiency is often compared to lower energy costs and reduction in environmental damage.
Coloring
At the present, manufacturers can create LEDs in different colors from red, orange, and yellow to green, blue and violet without employing the color filters that many conventional lighting methods necessitates. Moreover, by using several shades of LEDs at different concentration, LED solar light producers can actually form millions of dazzling colors that can be used in visual effects like color washing, fading, changing, etc. Furthermore, manufacturing colored LEDs is also more energy-efficient than other colored lights and it reduces the upfront cost of the product.
Size
LEDs comes in different sizes. And they can still be functional even if they are small in size. This is the reason why they are commonly used for electronic devices such as cell phones, laptops and remote controls.
Dimming
Even though dimming may not be an essential property of a bulb or for general lighting purposes but this makes LED solar light become more versatile. This special feature of LED makes it an ideal choice for solar garden lighting. This is the reason why a lot of designers prefer using LEDs than like incandescent light bulbs ad CFL.
Lifespan
LED solar light lasts a long time if matched up to traditional bulbs. Average long life bulbs survive for 1,500 hours. An ordinary light bulb with 700 hours endure half as long. While LEDs are estimated to last between 50,000-100,000 hours.
Durability
LEDs do not easily break or acquire damage with external shock than fluorescent and incandescent bulbs given that it is covered with solid state material. Thus, LED solar lights tend to wear better over time than traditional fixtures. However, LEDs are more susceptible to high temperature than traditional lights though.
Non-Toxic
Another advantage of switching to LED solar lighting is that LEDs do not contain harmful substance such as mercury. This makes LED light less lethal and less dangerous to human and environment.
