​Longevity

​One of the biggest differences between LED lighting and fluorescent or halogen light bulbs is their lifespan. LED’s have a lifespan of 50,000+ hours which equates to approximately 10 – 13 years of average use. Compare this to the lifespan of the traditional bulb that can last up to 8000 hours. These traditional bulbs also suffer what is termed a ‘catastrophic’ failure which essentially means they work until they don’t and when the die they pop! LED’s on the other hand very slowly lose their light output so even at 50,000 hours there will still be another 50,000 hours of light but just at a lower level. LED life spans are usually referenced as the L70% life. As the human eye can only detect light loss above 30%, LED’s are rated to this level. There is still plenty of light left after 50,000 hours but at a diminishing level.

Savings

LED’s can save you up to 85% of your power usage in comparison to your traditional lighting system.

​Stop having to change bulbs

​With LED lighting there is no need to constantly change bulbs. With a lifespan of up to 8000 hours fluorescent and halogen bulbs need to be changed regularly.

​No hazardous chemicals

​Fluorescent bulbs contain a variety of greenhouse gasses and mercury. This means they require specialized disposal processes. If a fluorescent bulb is broken,  harmful gasses escape into the atmosphere. The mercury can leech into the skin and in some cases be fatal.

​High safety standards

​Unlike LED’s, fluorescent or halogen lighting use approximately 80% of their energy as heat. LED lights remain cool to the touch minimising the risk of burning or fire hazards. LED’s contain no glass components so are not vulnerable to vibration or breakage.

​Environmentally friendly

The importance of how we use lighting to help us minimise our impact of the environment is growing. 25% of all energy generated on the planet goes into lighting our world at a time when global energy resources are in decline. We must develop better, cheaper, more efficient ways of lighting our world. LED lighting technology provides many solutions to this global challenge.
