LED LIGHTING --Light Emitting Diode is one of today's most energy efficient lighting and is rapidly changing the residential lighting industry. LED lighting has several SAFETY FEATURES over traditional residential lighting :
-NO MERCURY in LED - the CFL or compact florescent lighting and Florescent Tubes made in-roads into the home to help combat high energy costs, but these devices contained mercury and presented a hazard for disposal.
-NO UV RAYS in LED - halogen lighting became popular as it provided intense, White light and reasonable costs. But UV rays proved harmful not only to people, but could damage Artwork and other materials. UV radiation does not exist in LED lighting.
- NO HEAT in LED - traditional incandescent lighting had the property of creating heat as the Filament burned bright. This heat had the impact of increasing temperature of fixtures, increasing ambient temperature in rooms , which causes more Air conditioning demand. LED's operate a small circuit board to convert electricity to light and produce just a tiny fraction of heat. LED lights can be left on unattended without concern for fire risk.
The recent innovation of selectable colors being developed into LED products makes them IDEAL CHOICE FOR RESIDENTIAL LIGHTING. You can find fixtures that will simulate the soft, orange glow of an incandescent lamps ( about 2700 Kelvin), or the Bright white light of a Halogen spot light ( 4000 Kelvin) all in the same fixture.
LED lighting is here to stay, if you have not converted your Traditional lighting systems , you'll find that the least energy efficient traditional lighting systems are becoming obsolete as manufacturers cannot afford to produce products that are no longer in demand.
