Are you constantly changing light bulbs in your house? Some standard bulbs are rated for one thousand hours but may only last half that long. In fact, in some areas of the house, you might replace bulbs several times a year. This is a good reason to consider LED home lighting and here are several more.
Energy Savings
Would you like to cut your lighting bill in half? With the right kind of LED bulbs, you can save much more than half. Here is an example. Some 60-watt equivalent LED bulbs will use as little as 10 watts of power. That is six times less energy than standard 60-watt incandescent bulbs. If you multiply these savings by the number of bulbs in your home, it is significant.
Convenience
Perhaps you like to leave a light on in the kitchen or living room at night. This makes it safer for anyone getting up in the middle of the night. However, leaving a 40-watt bulb on all night uses a considerable amount of power. An energy efficient 40-watt equivalent LED bulb uses only about 5 watts of power, so you can burn some LED bulbs 24 hours a day if you want to.
Changing Bulbs
Some light bulbs are much harder to change than others. For example, changing ceiling light bulbs requires a ladder and can result in injury. With highly efficient LED home lighting you replace bulbs every 5 years or longer on average. It’s more convenient, and you end up saving money on light bulbs.
More Efficient Air Conditioning
Changing to LED home lighting helps your air conditioning system. LED bulbs emit as much as 90 percent less heat. This helps to keep bathrooms, bedrooms, and living rooms, more comfortable during those hot summer nights. LED is one of the best investments you can make.
