The Revolution Called the LED Light

The LED light has revolutionised our lighting experience in a variety of ways. From its great number of applications in industry, they are too seen in a wide variety of places for domestic use. Incandescent lights are still a lighting option, but here are some of the top advantages of using LED lights over their incandescent predecessor. Be sure to call Bradcher Industrial Wholesalers, as your industrial and domestic lighting suppliers, for all your LED needs.

Advantages of Using LED Lighting

Industrial and domestic lighting with LED lights is more energy efficient in that they do not rely on a burning filament, or heat, to emit the light. The light is emitted by simply having the energy source move through the semiconductor, being the diode within the light, which lights up the globe.

They are also more efficient overall as they emit an increased number of lumens per watt than incandescent globes. Their efficiency and power are also not affected by the shape or style of the globe, as is the case with incandescent light.

These lights also have a longer lifespan than their predecessors, and what contributes to this is the very fact that it does not rely on a heat source and their temperature is very low. The lower temperature also avoids damage to surrounding fabrics or objects.

LEDs used for industrial and domestic lighting are well suited to high cycles where they are used often. This differs from incandescent lights in that the more they are used, the quicker they fail. In the long run, the longer lifespan of the LED light also reduces the maintenance of the light over its lifespan, which in turn saves on costs.

They can emit a variety of colours of light, instead of having to have the globe around it be of a particular colour to filter the white light. Should a coloured light be the light you are looking for, having an LED light to start with will lower your initial output cost.

The LED lights themselves can be found in very small variations, making them perfect for sensors and remotes. They have an incredible response time and light up extremely fast, within the millisecond, from the flow of energy.

They can also be dimmed by lowering the forward current or by a method of pulse width modulation, which is the system often seen in the lights of motor cars. Linked to this dimming is their slow failure. This is not the case with incandescent lights that fail abruptly.

LED lights are housed within a solid-state casing which makes them very shock resistant, as opposed to their incandescent predecessors, which are very fragile and susceptible to breaking. They are also useful for focused light, and the design of each one supports this. Incandescent lights on the other hand would need a secondary device or external reflector to catch and focus the same amount of light.

LED lights can be of great benefit to your industry or your home. Contact our offices today, your local lighting company, to find out more information about how we can assist you with all your LED needs.
