Most traditional light sources take a few time to start properly and reach their full potential. LEDs release extreme light output after they are turned on. With this in mind, it’s worth considering LED light upgrades, specially for hazardous environments where instant lighting is crucial for safety"
List Of advanteges of LED
1:source of light
2:Energy
3:MORE DURABLE
4:Long life span
5:Low risk of Burn
ETC....
Long Life span.
• LEDs can last as long as 50000 hours - which is about 4 times longer than fluorescents, and 50 times longer than Good incandescent bulbs. "50000 hours is very long time" - if your LED light is turned on for 4 hours per day, it’d could be over 34 years before it needs changing! Your normal incandescent bulb will likely blow in only around 1 year.
• The result of lighting over the last few hours has produced ever longer lasting lights with the LED being the most effective to hit the general market to date. " The traditional ‘Light bulb’ is known as an " Incendescent light bulb " and these had a lifespan of only 1000 to 2000 hours " . Then Halogen lamp appeared, lasting about 4000 hours and more recently the energy-saving lamps, also known as CFLs became popular with a lifespan of up to 10000 hours.
• LED bulbs have a very long lifespan with most bulbs capable of at least 15000 hours lifetime. Better quality LEDs last between 20,000 and even 50,000 hours. The exact lifetime should always be printed on the package. With the usage time of four hours per day, even the cheap LED lamps could last 10 years. "The 50,000 hours light bulb might go as long as 34 years"
2.Energy
• LEDs are currently the energy source with much lower energy consumption than incandescent, fluorescent, metal Halide or mercury lamp , with 80-90% lighting efficiency compared to traditional lighting.
• This means that 80% of the energy supplied turns to light, while 20% is lost or converted to heat. The efficiency of the standard incandescent lamp is 5-10% - that is, only this amount of energy converts into light. This is why if you happened to touch an incandescent light while it is on or after it had been on for some time you would likely receive a painful burn due to the amount of energy .these type of lights convert to heat.
• There are some tiny but powerful LED bulbs. Because of their design, there is only a minimal cooling surface, through which the heat loss can be delivered. Therefore, these bulbs can be very hot despite LED technology and should not be touched during operation.
3. MORE DURABLE
LED light bulbs are generally harder, they are easily able to be produced in versions that are able to handle being dropped, withstand the cold, work with vibrations and can also be designed as water resistence . This durability is less critical for permanently installed ceiling lights. However, with all moving lights, outdoor lights and torches "this is a big advantage."
4. INSTANT ILLUMINATION
• Energy-saving bulbs, in particular, often took several minutes to reach full brightness. Thus, these were useless in situations where you only needed a turned on the light. These include, for example, "staircases".
• If you want to get something out of the closet or basement or any similar space, the light needs to be instant to avoid pointless waiting or rummaging in the dark. LED bulbs have no lag time, as soon as the switch is pressed there is light, making "LEDs much more effective for daily use".
5. GREAT COLOUR SELECTION
The most extensive range of light colours can be produced with LEDs, which makes them great for decorative lighting, festival and show lighting and party lights. However even for the home lighting situation this is useful as it means there is also a wide variety of colour temperatures available in the "white LED lamps"
. This way, you can generate the desired lighting mood as you wish by using warmer or cooler white lighting tones throughout your home.
6. NO POLLUTANTS
• A significant disadvantage of old lighting types is the harmful materials they contained including highly toxic mercury or lead Fluorescent lighting has mercury as well as other chemicals and heavy metals in it, this makes these bulbs classified as hazardous materials and makes them difficult to safely dispose of - especially if they happen to break.
• Another problem arises when the bulbs are broken down over time or burned in a dump facility, at this point the toxic substances such as mercury escape uncontrollably, leaching into the environment and waterways and polluting the air. LED lamps contain no highly toxic pollutants, making them safer for people during use and also the environment once they are disposed of.
7. UNLIMITED DESIGN POSSIBILITIES
• LED lights are much more flexible in the ways they can be used and the creative designs they can be incorporated into. LED lights can easily replace traditional light bulbs but also can be used in far more interesting designs.
• In principle, the production of any type of light shape is possible, which is why you see almost every type of lighting shape and style available in LED versions.
8. EASY TO CHANGE
• Traditional shapes and fittings for light bulbs have been easily replicated in the LED version making it easy to replace traditional incandescent and fluorescent light bulbs with LED ones while at the same time maintaining the same look as the older styles.
9. SAFE FROM UV AND INFRARED RADIATION
• There is no UV rediation emitted from most LED lights. This means you can light artwork, manuscripts, and artefacts with LEDs with no harm to them - UV radiation causes wear on art canvases, paper and the like.
• This is an important factor in industries such as Food , textile, arts and historical preservation and makes LEDs ideal for museum use.
• "It is also healthier for your eyes."
10. NO NASTY FLICKERING
• When a low-energy light bulb switches on/off 10 or 100 of times per second. Especially with old energy-saving light bulbs and fluorescent tubes that are at the end of their lifespan, the flickering is visible to the naked eye.
• LED lights do not flicker because they are always on
• " This technology is therefore distinctly quieter for the eyes".
11. HIGH TECH ADAPTATIONS
• The innovations of LED lamps do not seem to be slowing down with the latest technologies able to integrate remote operation, wifi connection and home tech network adaptations
• For example , you can switch the LED lights on or off, dim them or change their colour via your smartphone or voice activation using google assistant, Alexa and Siri
12. MUCH LESS ENVIRONMENTAL STRESS
• The combined attributes of LED lighting means they place much less stress on the natural environment and world’s resources. LEDs are 100% recyclable, contain no toxic pollutants, and are much more energy efficient.
• . Their longer lifespan leads to reduced waste and the chemical compounds responsible for the colour of the lighting are also not harmful to the environment
13.Safety
• Traditional lights generate heat as they provide light, but LED lights produce minimal heat in comparison and as a result are generally safe to touch. With most of the energy generated providing light rather than heat.
• LEDs help to minimise the likelihood of safety hazards occurring, such as burns to the body. Therefore, LED light installation is a great way to minimise potential hazards due to poor lighting conditions and improve overall safety in otherwise low light areas.
