Comments LED- Efficient Lighting
![]() |
Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology has emerged as an efficient technology and a powerful alternative to traditional light sources. The energy efficiency, longevity, cost effectiveness; power and versatility are the advantages of LED light sources which make them a better choice as compared to the traditional light sources.
LED light bulbs generate only trace amounts of heat, whereas, the traditional incandescent bulbs use up to 90% of their energy. The heat-carrying photons do not produce much visible light in incandescent lights.
LED light bulbs are capable of producing more light per watt of energy as compared to incandescent light fixtures. The life of LED light bulbs is longer, which can burn up to 35,000 to 50,000 at full capacity before the need for replacement. On the other hand, incandescent light bulbs can burn only up to 1000 to 2000 hours.
LED technology can be effectively used for flashlights that needs frequent turn off and on. This is because flurorescent bulbs easily burn out when they are used as flashlights.
All these advantages of LED technology have resulted in the replacement of the traditional incandescent light sources by LED light sources.
