- Energy efficient and environmentally friendly – LEDs only use a fraction of the electricity that is needed to power traditional light sources, they produce no UV rays and they are mercury and lead free.
- Longer life– LED lights have a rated life of 30,000 to 100,000 hours plus. Compare that to incandescent lights with a life of 1000 to 5000 hours, Compact Fluorescent (CFL) with a life of 8,000 to 10,000 hours and linear fluorescent 20,000 to 50,000 hours and you can see that LED lighting can save you a lot of money long term.
- Controllability – LED lighting is a perfect complement to occupancy sensors as LED’s life is not affected by the on/off cycles. In other words you can turn them on and off as much as you want.
- Turn on instantly – Even in cold weather, LEDs switch on instantly.
- Can be dimmed– LED lighting sources can be dimmed similarly to incandescent lighting. Which means you can dim LEDs down as much as 0.5% of potential light level.
- Range in colors – With advances in technology you can select LED Kelvin temperatures ranging from 2700 up to 6500 Kelvin (similar to fluorescent).
- Emit light in specific direction – No light is “lost” in the fixture or sent in a non-useful area with LED lighting.
- Small size – Since LED chips are relatively small they can be designed to fit in just about every type of existing light bulb shape.
- Efficacy – LED lighting is capable of offering well over 100 lumens per watt of energy consumed (efficacy). Most conventional lighting sources have efficacy levels of less than 100 lumens per watt.
- Durable – LED lighting is highly resistant to shock and vibration has excellent cold weather performance and contains no glass components.
