LED lights

LED lights

LED lights or ‘light-emitting diodes’ are very small incandescent light sources, like miniature light

bulbs, and they have much lower energy consumption than normal bulbs. They are also very robust

and durable, have a very long lifetime, are faster at switching than regular bulbs and are more

reliable. Modern LEDs can be very powerful, even powerful enough for room lighting and they

require precise current and heat controls. However, because LED’s are so small, in room lighting they

tend to come as groups of LED’s inside a ‘bulb.’ It is powerful, modern and energy efficient lighting.

These LED lights are now often used in downlights.

An LED Downlight is a light fixture that is installed into a hollowed out opening in the ceiling of a

room. When the Downlight is installed it looks as though it is just light shining down from holes in

the ceiling. This is a popular feature in modern buildings because it is subtle and doesn’t hang down

invasively into the room like a regular light bulb. Low energy LED downlights can potentially save 80

to 90% of energy and decrease the cost of electricity bills whilst having up to between twenty and

fifty times more longevity than a regular halogen bulb. Power LEDs provide a crisp, bright, white

light and unlike other energy saving bulbs (like CFL’s) they don’t take time to warm up in order to get bright.

There are multiple online companies that sell LED lights, and demand has increased over the past

few years and with the developments in technology. LED downlights are popular largely due to how

environmentally friendly and low-cost they are and as such, websites that sell downlights sometimes

have an ‘energy calculator’ so that customers can calculate the amount of money they will save on

energy bills as a result of choosing to buy LED lights.
