Energy Efficiency
LED bulbs are known for their energy efficiency, but how efficient are they? It takes FIVE traditional light bulbs to produce the same level of brightness as just one LED bulb, meaning LEDs are 75% more energy efficient! This means your business will be using less energy for lighting, lowering consumption and your monthly energy bill.
Durability and Longevity
LED bulbs are also known for their longevity. In fact, they typically last up to 25 x longer than traditional bulbs! LED bulbs can last for up to 25,000 hours compared to the 1,000 hours of traditional bulbs. This will save your company costs associated with replacing bulbs while reducing waste. Because LED bulbs aren’t made of glass, they are less susceptible to breakage and damage. This also contributes to their longer lifespan. Increased durability also means that LED lighting can be utilized in outdoor spaces in varied weather conditions. The ability to use LED bulbs in unique locations creates more opportunities to use less energy with your lighting.
Less Toxicity
With the advancements in modern technology, LED bulbs were developed free of toxic substances. Traditional incandescent bulbs use chemicals, like mercury, and LEDs do not. This means LEDs are the safer and healthier choice for your employees and the environment, keeping harmful toxins from being released.
Reduced Light Pollution
One way that LED bulbs don’t waste as much energy is through directional light emissions. LEDs only emit light at an 180 degree radius in front of them. Traditional bulbs emit light in every direction. For a business, this means traditional bulbs are using energy to light unnecessary spaces–like the ceiling. With LEDs, you’re only utilizing energy to light the areas that need it. By making sure light is only directed where it’s needed, you can ensure you are reducing light pollution in your community.
Low Heat Emission
LEDs waste very little energy as heat, which not only brings down your energy cost but can reduce the need for climate-control and cooling, further reducing the use of energy for your building.
