The ability to illuminate both the property surrounding your home, as well as your home's interior spaces, is obviously one of the great advantages of modern indoor and outdoor lighting systems. If you are ready to revamp your lighting systems, or if you just want to make your home a more efficient place to live, you should consider the use of LED lights. These lights are beneficial in both indoor and outdoor lighting systems, and are quite common here in Parkland, FL. Read on to learn more about all that LED lighting has to offer you.

Light-Emitting Diodes

LED, or light emitting diode, lamps are renowned for their outstanding energy efficiency and their overall performance quality. Still, many homeowners may be hesitant to move away from the very cheap incandescent light bulbs that they've long used. This is doing oneself a big disservice, though, as LED lights offer so much more than incandescents can.

• Performance Quality: LEDs are very bright, but also highly directional. That is why many LEDs are grouped together strategically on a single bulb, casting light in all necessary directions. As far the efficacy of this lighting goes, incandescents range from 10-17 lumens per watt. LEDs? 60-90. The difference here is very obvious.
• Life Span: We are not going to argue the fact that, yes, incandescent light bulbs are cheaper than LEDs. However, you must not only take into account the efficacy of LEDs, but their lifespans. Incandescent bulbs will generally last between 750 - 1,000 hours. LEDs are solid state devices, though, which means that there is no arcing or oxidizing. The result? A practical estimate of 30,000 hours of use. We'd say that's a good investment, wouldn't you?
• Added Bonuses: Using LED lights actually makes your life more convenient, as you're not going to be running to buy or changing bulbs as frequently as you're used to. LEDs also stay cool to the touch, and are dimmable from 0-100%.
