BULBING
SWITCH TO LED
As your incandescent bulb burns out, it's time to switch to LED bulbs. By now we all know that LEDs have an impressive life span of 15000 hours and are very cost effective.
Contrary to common belief wattage isn't an indication of brightness, but a measurement of how much energy the bulb draws. With incandescents there is an accepted co relation between the watts drawn and brightness, but for LEDs watts aren't the predictor of how bright the bulb will be.
For example, an LED bulb with comparable brightness to a 60 W incandescent is only 8 to 10 watts.
The lumens is the real measurement of brightness provided by a light bulb, and is the number you should look for when shopping for LEDs.
LED bulbs are capable of displaying an impressive color range, from purple to red,to a spectrum of whites and yellows.
The popular colors available are warm white, cool white and soft white. Light color is measured in Kelvins.The lower the number the warmer (more yellow) the light.
BENEFITS OF LED
1. ENERGY EFFICIENT- Capable of outputting 135 lumens/watt. Consume 90% less power than incandescent bulbs.
2. LONGER LIFE- 50000 hours or more if properly engineered compared to 1500 hours of an incandescent bulb. An LED bulb can last 7 years with constant use.
3. NO WARM UP PERIOD- LEDs light up instantly
4. ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY- They contain no mercury or hazardous substances. They are made from non toxic materials.
5. CONTROLLABLE- Can be controlled for brightness and color.
6. SAFETY- They generate virtually no heat hence are cool to touch.
When switching to LED don't expect to save pots of cash, instead think of it as an investment. Eventually, the LEDs will pay off, in the meantime you will enjoy less heat production, longer bulb life and even the option of controlling them on your automation system.
The accompanying environment benefit is easy; less waste, because you are using less bulbs, and greater energy efficiency.
