At Winstar Lighting Technologies, we have observed that many home and business owners do not fully understand the benefits of LED lighting. Chances are you have heard that this technology can be a great upgrade from traditional lighting. However, you may not realize which benefits will impact you the most. Here are the advantages that we consider most significant:
• Long Lifespan: While the energy savings of LED lighting are great, perhaps the most valuable benefit is how long they last. LED lightbulbs have an expected operational lifetime of 11 years if continuously lit or 20 years if lit for eight hours per day.
• Energy Efficiency: Even with our LED lighting expertise, we at Winstar Lighting Technologies are still impressed by how little energy LEDs need. They convert 80-90 percent of energy used to light. Incandescent lights, by contrast, convert only 20 percent to light.
• Kind to the Environment: LED lights need to be replaced less often and use less energy than other options, and are free of toxic chemicals. In short, they are better for the environment than any other lighting source.
• Durable: Unlike traditional lighting, LEDs are very durable. They don’t feature a delicate filament and are made of shock-resistant parts. They are perfect for outdoor lighting. They also need to be replaced due to damage less often.
For these reasons and many others, we at Winstar Lighting Technologies believe that everyone should switch to LED lighting.
