Top 10 Benefits of Using LED Lights Instead of Conventional Lighting

You certainly hear and read a lot about the advantages and benefits of the energy
efficiency of LED light emitting diodes vs traditional lighting. When you compare them to
other energy-saving illumination methods that are available on the market today, you
will find that LED lighting is by far the most power-saving and smart solution. Recent
research and developments in the field of LED illumination is about to bring upon us an
intelligent green LED lighting revolution that will help us save the planet.

By far the most energy efficient, the cleanest and most eco-friendly way of
illumination is LED lighting, which is basically digital light and comes with a
multitude of amazing benefits.

Top 10 Benefits of LED Lighting


1. Long Life
Long life time stands out as the number one benefit of LED lights. LED bulbs and diodes
have an outstanding operational life time expectation of up to 100.000 hours. This is
11 years of continuous operation, or 22 years of 50% operation. If you leave on the
LED fixture for 8h per day it would take around 20 years before you’d have to replace
the LED bulb.
LED’s are different to standard lighting: They don’t really burn out and stop working like
a standard light, moreover the lighting diodes emit lower output levels over a very long
period of time and become less bright.

2. Energy Efficiency
Today’s most efficient way of illumination and lighting, with an estimated energy
efficiency of 80%-90% when compared to traditional lighting and conventional light
bulbs. This means that about 80% of the electrical energy is converted to light, while a
ca. 20% is lost and converted into other forms of energy such as heat.
With traditional incandescent light bulbs who operate at 20% energy efficiency only, a
80% of the electricity is lost as heat. Imagine the following scenario:
If you use traditional lighting and have an electricity bill of e.g US$ 100, then US$ 80 of
that money has been used to heat the room, not to light it! Using LED illumination with
80% efficiency, the electricity costs would be around US$ 20 and you’d have saved
around US$ 80.
The long operational life time acts as a multiplicator and helps achieve even more energy
efficiency, especially large scale and when thinking in terms of urban infrastructure
projects, such as cities, railroads and airports.
Think of e.g an airport using energy efficient LED lighting exclusively and achieving a
30% power consumption reduction in comparison with an airport using conventional
lighting technology.
Because the long life span of LED lights, also the maintenance work - think of all the
work and energy it would take to purchase, stock and change the conventional light
bulbs of an airport - you’ll see that you can make significant energy savings also when it
comes to maintenance and replacement due to the long operational life times of LED
lighting.

3. Ecologically Friendly
LED lights are free of toxic chemicals. Most conventional fluorescent lighting bulbs
contain a multitude of materials like e.g mercury that are dangerous for the
environment.
LED lights contain no toxic materials and are 100% recyclable, and will help you to
reduce your carbon footprint by up to a third. The long operational life time span
mentioned above means also that one LED light bulb can save material and production
of 25 incandescent light bulbs. A big step towards a greener future!

4. Durable Quality
LEDs are extremely durable and built with sturdy components that are highly rugged
and can withstand even the roughest conditions. Because LED lights are resistant to
shock, vibrations and external impacts, they make great outdoor lighting systems for
rough conditions and exposure to weather, wind, rain or even external vandalism, traffic
related public exposure and construction or manufacturing sites.

5. Zero UV Emissions
LED illumination produces little infrared light and close to no UV emissions.
Because of this, LED lighting is highly suitable not only for goods and materials that are
sensitive to heat due to the benefit of little radiated heat emission, but also for
illumination of UV sensitive objects or materials such a in museums, art galleries,
archeological sites etc.

6. Design Flexibility
LEDs can be combined in any shape to produce highly efficient illumination. Individual
LEDs can be dimmed, resulting in a dynamic control of light, color and distribution. Well-
designed LED illumination systems can achieve fantastic lighting effects, not only for the
eye but also for the mood and the mind: LED mood illumination is already being used in
airplanes, classrooms and many more locations and we can expect to see a lot more LED
mood illumination in our daily lives within the next few years.

7. Operational in Extremely Cold or Hot Temperatures


LED are ideal for operation under cold and low outdoor temperature settings. For
fluorescent lamps, low temperatures may affect operation and present a challenge, but
LED illumination operates well also in cold settings, such as for outdoor winter settings,
freezer rooms etc.

8. Light Dispersement
LED is designed to focus its light and can be directed to a specific location without the
use of an external reflector, achieving a higher application efficiency than conventional
lighting. Well-designed LED illumination systems are able to deliver light more
efficiently to the desired location.

9. Instant Lighting & Frequent Switching


LED lights brighten up immediately and when powered on, which has great
advantages for infrastructure projects such as e.g traffic and signal lights.
Also, LED lights can switched off and on frequently and without affecting the LED’s
lifetime or light emission. In contrast, traditional lighting may take several seconds to
reach full brightness, and frequent on/off switching does drastically reduce operational
life expectancy.

10. Low-Voltage
A low-voltage power supply is sufficient for LED illumination. This makes it easy to use
LED lighting also in outdoor settings, by connecting an external solar-energy source and
is a big advantage when it comes to using LED technology in remote or rural areas.
