Energy saving thanks to LED lighting

Energy Saving Thanks to LED Lighting

Many people today hardly remember the time before LED lighting. Before LED lights, incandescent bulbs were often the only option, even though only about five percent of the energy was converted into light, the rest was lost as heat.

The invention of the LED lamp has fundamentally changed lighting. On average, LED lighting uses at least 75 percent less energy than an incandescent bulb. It is amazing how much money can be saved by switching to LED LIGHTING.

LED Lighting is Significantly More Energy Efficient than Incandescent or Fluorescent Lamps

The diodes produce less heat and, unlike fluorescent lamps, contain no mercury. An LED lamp also lasts many thousands of hours longer than conventional incandescent bulbs.

Its lifespan is on average up to 70,000 hours, which is about fifty times longer than incandescent bulbs or eight to ten times longer than fluorescent lamps.

LED lighting instead of incandescent bulbs: This is how much money you can save

An average four-person family consumes about 12% of electricity with incandescent lighting.

Given the high electricity prices, it is surprising that so few have completely switched their lighting to LED lights so far.

By completely switching from incandescent bulbs to modern light sources, you can easily save 10% on electricity, as LEDs consume only about 7 to 15 percent of the energy of an incandescent bulb of the same intensity. This way, you can easily save energy with light.

Like every new technology, LEDs were very expensive at first. However, these lamps are now very affordable

LED lighting can also be beautiful and extraordinary

Vintage light bulbs are a prime example of how antique design can be perfectly matched withthe latest LED technology . Old light bulbs bring a special charm to your home! Whether inkitchen, bathroom, living roomor bedroom, retro lamps find a place in every living space.

Saving Electricity at Home with LED Lighting

One of the main reasons why LEDs are so efficient is that they consume much less electricity than incandescent bulbs, as they do not produce light in the same way as incandescent bulbs.

LED lights are energy-efficient, mainly due to their design. These lamps have a semiconductor that emits light when electricity flows through it.

This means they consume less energy and save energy with light. Since the entire circuit does not need to be heated like a light bulb for the filament or gas inside to produce light.

LED lighting has a longer lifespan

The biggest advantage of LED lighting is that a bulb can last up to twenty years. In comparison, a durable fluorescent lamp lasts up to five years before it needs to be replaced. Therefore, fewer bulbs need to be purchased with LED lighting.

Using LED light not only saves money but also energy; it is also better for the planet because less waste is generated in the form of burnt-out bulbs.

LED strips are not only practical but also an excellent energy saver

A  LED strip  not only adds a touch of sparkle to any room in your home. Its low wattage means it consumes a fraction of the energy of an incandescent or halogen lamp used in a traditionalceiling lamp or table lamp  is used. For this,LED strips offer some fantastic lighting options to illuminate a living space invitingly. 

LED Lighting: Eco-friendly and free of toxic elements

Due to their efficiency, LED lighting is eco-friendly. LED light produces less noise and light pollution. The lamps withstand various weather conditions. They contain no glass and are relatively shatterproof.

Very importantly: LED lamps do not emit ultraviolet light and contain no mercury or other hazardous substances. In contrast, halogen lamps contain about four to five milligrams of mercury, which can be very dangerous for humans.

Here I have 5 tips for saving energy at home

• Switch to LED lighting!
• Use motion sensors, e.g. hallway or stairwell
• Use dimmable lights. This creates a pleasant atmosphere and you save electricity.
• Pay attention to multiple small light sources. Prefer using several small light sources rather than one large one.
• Implement Smart Home & Smart Light. By individually controlling and dimming the lighting, significant energy savings can be achieved.

Everything speaks for LED lighting

Old light sources like incandescent and halogen lamps are outdated. The LED technology has matured and offers numerous advantages. In principle, it is worthwhile to replace every room with LED lighting. By integrating LEDs into your own home, there are countless ways to save electricity at home.
