LED lighting: Savings, green and lifetime
Is LED the lighting of the future? Probably yes, but why:
- The energy consumption of LEDs is lower than conventional lighting. They can make you save up to 90%.
- The variety of colors
- LEDs emit very little heat.
- LEDs contain no mercury and are much less polluting than the energy-saving lamps.
- LEDs light up instantly.
- LEDs have a lifetime much larger than conventional bulbs, up to 80,000 hours.
The purchase price is still high (10 times more expensive than a conventional light bulb). The return on investment is only about 1 to 2 years due to their lifetime and the savings you will made on energy.
The first generation of LED offered relatively "cold" lighting. Today, innovation permits warmer colors.
On the market, you will find many difference of qualities, prefer brands as Philips, Osram or Toshiba.
We recommand you to check the warranty period offered by the dealer (preferably 5 years).
