What type of lighting do you have installed in your home or business? Is it fluorescent? Incandescent? Halogen or something else? If so, then it might be time for an upgrade. At FinePoint Electrical, we frequently help our clients make the switch from older and less efficient lighting technology designs to LED lighting. If you are interested in this kind of upgrade, our electricians in West Auckland can help.

The Benefits of LED Lighting

There are many benefits to LED lighting, and they all serve as compelling arguments for why you should retire halogen or fluorescent bulks and make the leap. Here are a few significant advantages:

  • Energy Efficiency: LED lighting is extremely energy efficient. How energy efficient, you may ask? Compared to incandescent, halogen and fluorescent lights, LED lighting uses roughly half as much energy. As you might imagine, the actual energy and cost savings vary depending on the building and how many hours a day the lights are turned on. Especially for workspaces where bulbs are on for 12-24 hours a day, the savings provided by LED add up considerably.
  • No Heat: One of the reasons that incandescent bulbs are so inefficient is that they convert much of their power into heat. Only a small percentage of the energy these lights receive goes to creating light. This issue reduces bulb life and means that incandescent bulbs get very hot. This heat is problematic for several reasons, from burn/fire risk to higher interior temperatures. LED lights produce virtually no heat, which adds to their energy efficiency while also making them safer.
    Incredible Lifespan: In part, because they produce so much heat, most standard lightbulbs tend to ‘burn out’ or fail after a relatively brief period. Incandescent bulbs might last 1,000 hours or less. Fluorescent lamps, in comparison, have always been regarded as having long lifespans, since they can last 8-10 times as long. While fluorescents tend to top out around 10,000 hours, though, LED lighting can last for up to 50,000 hours. This fact alone is enough reason to call a West Auckland electrician for a lighting upgrade. Imagine what you could save on light bulbs over the course of 20 or 30 years. LEDs do dim slightly over time, but not appreciably enough to necessitate their replacement for many, many hours.

These advantages represent just a few of the reasons to switch to LED lighting. As the push for energy efficiency and sustainability becomes stronger—especially in the business world—expect more and more households and companies to make the switch.
