Not long ago, there was very limited choice when it came to light bulbs. You would choose a wattage based on how bright you needed the light to be and there wasn’t much else to decide on. After some time, traditional incandescent bulbs became a phase as people started to seek more energy-efficient light sources. LEDs in particular are a far more energy conscious and green system of lighting, and since 25% of the average energy budget goes towards lighting, they are well worth your investment. Here are the main benefits of choosing LED lighting.

LED bulbs use up to 80% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs
They produce less heat, and because of their design, remain cool to touch
They don’t contain toxic mercury or filament. They also reduce CO2 emissions
They are far more durable than other kinds of bulbs because solid state LED technology is vibration and impact resistant
They have excellent cold weather performance. They perform well at a low temperature, minimizing fire risks greatly
They direct light efficiently. LED bulbs produce highly directional light, sending all the light exactly where it’s needed. More control over beam direction means less wasted light
They are more efficient and longer lasting forms of technology — they actually last up to 50,000 hours (that’s the equivalent of leaving a light on permanently for three years!)
