Are You Reaping the Benefits of LED Lights? | Teems Electric

If you had the ability to save energy by changing out the lightbulbs in your home or office, wouldn’t you?

Well, you can! Our Teems Electric team wants to share some of the benefits of LED lighting. Read on as we take a look!

What to Know About LED

Light-emitting diode (LED) light bulbs are one of the most energy-efficient lightbulb technologies today.

Not only do LED lightbulbs last longer, but the quality is also better and they are more durable than other types of lighting.

Let’s take a look at other reasons why you may want to consider using LED lights:

Energy Efficiency

For starters, LED lightbulbs are more energy-efficient than other lighting types within the United States.

In fact, LED lightbulbs use 75 percent less energy and last 25 times longer than incandescent lighting.

Commercial Lighting

Because of their high efficiency, LED lightbulbs are great for industrial uses, including:

• Outdoor area lights
• Parking garage lights
• Street lights
• Task lights
• Walkway lights

Recessed Downlights

Did you know that there are more than 500 million recessed downlights installed in American homes?

In addition, more than 20 million recessed downlights are sold each year. That means there is a huge opportunity to help save energy within the United States when it comes to recessed downlights, which are mostly used in kitchens, bathrooms and hallways.

By using LED lightbulbs within recessed downlights, it allows the downlight wattage to be lowered by at least 75 percent.

The next time you’re in the market for new lightbulbs or light fixtures for your home or business, consider the benefits of LED lights! They may cost a bit more on the front end, but they’ll save you in the long run—and they benefit the environment, too.
