What are the advantages of LEDs?

Schöne LED-Glühbirnen hängen kreativ in einem modernen Raum und bieten warmes Licht.

"No more cold, unnatural and sterile - LEDs are now the light source of choice and offer far more advantages over conventional light bulbs than just good energy efficiency. Light emitting diodes are semiconductors that generate light when electricity flows and are being installed in more and more luminaires - in this article, we reveal the benefits of modern LED technology."

Advantage 1: Save energy with LED lighting


Up to 90% of electricity costs can be saved with LEDs compared to light bulbs, as they require significantly less energy - so the slightly higher purchase costs are quickly offset. In addition sink due to the high energy efficiency CO2 emissionswhich is good for the environment. With LED lamps, you not only protect your wallet, but also the environment.


Advantage 2: LEDs are particularly long-lasting


When you buy a new light, it should of course last a long time - with an LED light source, you are on the safe side in terms of service life. With up to 50,000 hours an LED lamp is much more durable than a conventional light source with only up to 5,000 hours. Depending on the daily lighting duration, you should be able to use your lighting for more than 10 years, also thanks to the switching stability. By the way, you also cause less wasteas you don't have to constantly replace your LED bulbs and dispose of old ones.


Advantage 3: Countless colors & color temperatures thanks to LED technology


While they used to be considered uncomfortable, cold and therefore unsuitable for living spaces, this image has long since changed. LED lighting is now available no longer only available in cool whitebut in almost every conceivable color. In most cases, you don't even have to decide when buying whether you prefer colorful lights, warm white or cool white, because the color temperature of LEDs can be adjusted. This means that LED lights can be used to create a cozy atmosphere for the evening hours just as easily as bright light for working or relaxing wellness lighting for the bathroom.


Advantage 4: LED light sources do not heat up


Once a light has been on for a long time, it is often no longer possible to touch it as the light source becomes extremely hot - not so with LEDs. These only have a low heat developmentwhich also gives you more flexibility when positioning LED lamps. Whether near a piece of furniture, a curtain or similar furnishings, with modern LED lights you don't have to worry about the risk of fire.


Advantage 5: Versatile luminaire designs thanks to compact LEDs


Not only the luminaire designers themselves should be particularly pleased with this advantage of LEDs, but you also have a wide range of options thanks to the very compact design you have far more choice of lamp shapes today. LEDs are considerably more inconspicuousand can also be arranged flexibly, which has revolutionized the design of luminaires - for example, very narrow and thin LED strips are now available, which would not have been possible with conventional light sources.


All the advantages of LEDs at a glance


Why LEDs are on the rise and why more and more customers are opting for this light source is probably due to the many advantages they offer over conventional light bulbs. Here is another overview of the advantages of LEDs:


  • Economical and efficient with energy savings of up to 90%
  • Long service life: up to 50,000 hours
  • Available in a wide range of light colors and temperatures or adjustable
  • Environmentally friendly thanks to reduced CO2 emissions
  • Less waste from old lamps due to long service life
  • Wide range of luminaire design options thanks to compact construction
  • Switching stability
  • More flexible positioning of the lights possible thanks to low heat generation
