What You Need to Know on LED Light
The light-emitting diode (LED) is a kind of very energy-efficient and rapidly-growing lighting technologies. LED light has a longer lifetime, and is more durable, with better light quality than other types of lighting.
Refer to the following introductions learn more about LEDs.
1. Energy Saving
LED is a highly energy-efficient lighting technology, with the potential to change the future of lighting in the US. Residential LED light consumes at least 75% less energy, and last 25 times longer lifetime than traditional incandescent lamp.
The widespread of LED lighting will impact the United States greatly on energy savings. By 2027, widespread use of LEDs could save about 348 TWh of electricity comparably. This equals annual electrical output of 44 large electric power plants (1000 megawatts each), the total electricity saving is more than $30 billion.
2. Why LED is Different
LED is different from other lighting sources (incandescent bulbs, CFL bulb, etc) by the following features:
• Light Source: LEDs are the size of a fleck of pepper, and white light is made from a mixture of red, green, and blue LEDs.
• Directional: LED emits light in a specific direction, the directional feature makes it more efficient in recessed down lights and task lighting application.
• Heat Output: LED light emit very little heat to the environment while incandescent bulbs release 90% of their energy as heat and CFLs release about 80% of their energy as heat.
3. Common LED Product
LED light is currently available in a wide range of home, commercial and industrial lighting products, and new LED product is emerging every year. The rapid grow of LED leads to more product supply and improved manufacturing efficiency, which finally results in lower prices.
Be aware of the most common types of LED products:
Industrial and Commercial LED Light
LED lights are increasingly used as street lights, parking lights, walkway lamp and other outdoor area lighting, like refrigerated case lighting, modular lighting and task lighting.
Kitchen Under-cabinet Light
As LED lights are small and directional, it is ideal selection for lighting countertops for cooking.
Recessed Down lights
Recessed down lights are widely installed in residential rooms, halls, and bathrooms, offices and commercial occasions. It is estimated by DOE that there are at least 500 million recessed down lights installed in U.S. homes, and above 20 million are sold each year.
LED Replacement Bulb
With quality improvements and decreased prices, LED lamps can replace 40, 60, and also even 75 Watt incandescent bulbs with no problem.
LED Holiday Lights
LED lights is instant light up, available in hundreds of color patterns, it takes great advantage in decorative and holiday leisure lighting application.
