Benefits of LED Lighting and Energy Efficient Lighting
The benefits of LED lighting is still not so clear to many people. Here we want to break down and get a closer look of how an LED light bulb can not only save money, but also save make the world a better place.
LED stands for light-emitting diode which is a semiconductor chip that emits light when conducting current. LED bulbs can produce any spectrum of light which make it very universal and able to use in nearly any application. It is used in many households, whether room or kitchen, offices, landscapes and even traffic lights. The use of LED lighting has increased rapidly since the beginning of the century and is now in mass production.
It is almost safe to say that an LED light can last forever. It has over a 50,000 hour lifespan, which means 2083 days, a minimum of 6 years of energy efficient lighting if you never turn it off. In the same amount of time, you would have used 50 regular incandescent light bulbs. Basically, by paying a few extra dollars more for LED lighting, you would not only save over $400 on future lighting, you would also save at least 70% on your next electricity bill.
Let's take a closer look at the benefits of LED lighting:
A regular incandescent bulb, running on 12 hours per day, will cost about $40 a year. Since these light bulbs only run for about 1000 hours you might at least need to buy about 4 more bulbs that same year, bringing your total cost of one light fixture to about $60.
Now, let's take a look at our Alcon Lighting LED light bulb:
If we run our energy efficient light bulb for just about 12 hours per day for one whole year, our electricity bill would be around $5. Since it has then been on for just about 4000 hours, it still has another 10 whole years of lighting to go! With our not so energy efficient incandescent bulb, this illumination would cost us around $600.
Clearly, an LED light bulb is a great investment, not only with the goal to keep our wallets fuller, but also to make the world a better place, one light bulb at a time. You have to mean it when you green it.
