Why LED lighting? - LED lighting in the home

LED lamps have many advantages over traditional lighting methods.

- Low energy consumption -- retrofit bulbs range from 0.83 to 7.3 Watts
- Long service life -- LED bulbs can last up to 50,000 hours
- Durable -- LED bulbs are resistant to thermal and vibrational shocks and turn on instantly from -40C° to 185C°, making them ideal for applications subject to frequent on-off cycling, such as garages and basements
- Directional distribution of light -- good for interior task lighting
- No infrared or ultraviolet radiation -- excellent for outdoor use because UV light attracts bugs
- Safety and environmentally conscious -- LEDs contain no mercury and remain cool to the touch
- Fully dimmable -- LEDs do not change their color tint when dimmed unlike incandescent lamps that turn yellow
- No frequency interference -- no ballast to interfere with radio and television signals
- Range of color -- LEDs can be manufactured produce all colors of the spectrum without filters, they can also produce white light in a variety of color temperatures
