Whether it is by laws and regulations or your desire to do your bit to save the world, energy saving bulbs has found their way into most homes. They are now the bulbs of choice for the environmentally conscious homes and offices worldwide.

Less Heat And More Colorful

Along with the popular and efficient compact fluorescent lamps or CFLs that are now found everywhere, there is a new type of bulb that is found to be even more efficient than the above-mentioned CFLs. These bulbs are called LED or light-emitting diode and they are more efficient in providing light than even CFLs. LED lights convert electricity into light and are at present the leader in lighting technology when compared to the more traditional sources of light. LED lighting uses special circuits that consumes less energy, generates less heat, and even lasts longer than a regular light bulb. They come equipped with reflectors to enhance their lighting capability.

Small Is Beautiful And Trouble-Free

Some of the advantages of using an LED light the small size, making it suitable for installation in difficult places. They last at least ten times longer than normal lamps, and according to some manufactures, they could even last as long as thirty years. LEDs create very little heat when compared to the old incandescent lamps, making it safe to be used in museums where paintings and artifacts are displayed. LED bulbs use reflectors to concentrate their lighting output, producing more illumination than regular lamps, useful in parts of your home which need to be lit up, without any problem. These bulbs are not affected by vibrations and can handle any weather conditions, making them useful in the manufacture of cars and other off-road vehicles.

Environmentally Safe And Long Lasting

One of the problems with CFL lamps is the problem of disposing them safely because of the mercury content in them. If not disposed carefully, more environmental problems could be created in the long run than solving them; problems that do not exist with LEDs. The new generation of LED lighting is dimmable, making them even more attractive, and due to its property of emitting flicker-free light, prevents eyes strain. Finally, by changing to this new and energy efficient lighting with LED light, there is a very good chance you could save a lot of money in the long run, and do your bit to the reduction of global warming.
