LED Home Lighting - How You Can Benefit From It

Most individuals have come across LED Home Lighting in one form or another; usually in torches, Christmas lights and solar or mains powered garden lighting. But many are still ignorant that home LED home lighting is now not only possible, but very much the future of domestic lighting.

The Lighting Business is rapidly dropping further investment in the present generation of low-power lamps (Compact Fluorescent Lamps or CFLs - ungainly, garish and, being filled with Mercury vapour, a disposal nightmare). Companies such as Philips Lighting Corporation have already stated their commitment to LED Home Lighting as the best way forward.

As a result the provision, range and affordability of LED Home Lighting solutions is increasing at an explosive rate. But as at this moment it is still best to introduce LED Home Lighting into your own home by approaching those application that LEDs are best able to replace.

The essential distinction between traditional incandescent light bulbs and LED lights is that the former wastes up to ninety eight% of the electrical energy supplied as heat however does shine light in all directions, whereas LED light sources convert almost all their electrical energy into light (therefore the reason they stay cool to the touch) however shine a pure and very intense directional light.

Another key differentiator is cost of ownership. LED light bulbs last an extremely long time (3 decades of normal use) and cost so little to run that the cost of the electricity used throughout the entire lifetime of a bulb is almost certain to be less than the cost of the bulb itself. It is in stark contrast to normal non-LED bulbs which are typically well over 500 times the cost of the bulb itself in running and replacement costs.

These certain qualities (highly efficient, zero fire risk and focused light) make LED light bulbs a perfect substitute for spot lights, particularly the popular halogen lamps presently found in many homes and that waste heat and money in abundance.

But replacing domestic halogen down lighters is only one aspect of spot lighting that LED lamps are perfect for. In addition they make ideal display lighting and as a bonus can be put in places where you couldn't even contemplate using conventional incandescent spot lights due to the danger of damage and fire from their extremely high operating temperature.

LED spot lights are a natural alternative for bringing illumination to display units, shelves, beneath kitchen shelves and inside cupboards and wardrobes. They can be easily installed adjacent to objects and surfaces without any danger of causing heat damage and often give a much better light than regular light bulbs in such uses.

The other dimension that home LED home lighting is revolutionising is mood lighting, bringing completely new array of effects that existing lighting technology cannot begin to emulate. LED mood lighting provides a whole new palette of vibrant color that may be altered and blended at will to produce wonderful effects, either as a focal point or cast against floors, ceilings and walls to change the ambiance of any room in your house.
