You’ve heard plenty about the sustainability of LED lighting, but just how eco-friendly are they really?
The answer: extremely!
Here are just some of the ways LED lights outshine the competition!
LEDs Provide More Light, Less Power
LED lights use between 50-90% less energy when compared to more common fluorescent or incandescent bulbs. LEDs also produce 10 times more lumens per watt than incandescent lighting. This is in addition to the fact that LEDs take no time to warm up like traditional bulbs do, and can be dimmed to a lower setting, or turned up to provide brighter lighting in a snap.
LED Lights have a Longer Lifespan
LED lights have an average lifespan of 50,000 hours – that’s over 5 times longer than the average fluorescent, and nearly 50 times longer than the average incandescent. That translates to over 10 years of daily commercial or industrial use. LEDs are especially useful in industrial settings as well, given their increased durability. Unlike vacuum tube bulbs, LEDs are much harder to break, and don’t carry any risk of causing fire in case of damage.
LED Lighting Utilizes Greener Construction
Given the long life and durability of LED lights, much fewer need to be manufactured. Another great advantage to LED lights is that they are 100% recyclable, and toxic chemicals are not used in their construction.
Whether you manage an office building, warehouse, manufacturing plant, or are in charge of community or municipal street lights, the benefits of LED lighting is clear. Not only does their improved energy efficiency make for considerable savings on electric bills, they also result in greatly curbed emissions.
