Top 5 Reasons To Switch to LED Lighting

Superior Light Quality

As LED lighting technology has improved over the years, so has the quality of light that they produce. Gone are the early days of LED’s when they made everything look like a surgical center, and they just couldn’t match the color, brightness, or rich quality that you could get from a traditional fluorescent bulb. Today’s LED bulbs offer unbelievable versatility when it comes to adjusting color, tone, and brightness. Many LED bulbs and fixtures can even be adjusted right there in your home or office if you’re not sure what style of lighting you want.

Maintenance and Longevity

LED lights don’t burn out. At least not like fluorescent bulbs do. Most LED bulbs will last a minimum of 15 years with zero maintenance, and minimal loss in brightness and quality. Once you install your LED fixture, you can leave it and forget it. Like the fixtures you have? They make an LED bulb for that! Simply purchase an LED equivalent bulb and install it in your old fixtures and voila! You’ll likely never need to change those bulbs again, not to mention all of the other benefits!

Cost Efficiency

Just a few years ago, LED was an emerging technology. That meant $$$. LED bulbs and fixtures could cost 3x or 4x times the price of fluorescent bulbs and fixtures. Today however, there is little to no difference in cost. In some cases, you might even find that LED is cheaper out of the box. The real cost saving though, isn’t from the price of the fixture, but money you’ll save down the road. No more replacement bulbs, no more replacing light ballasts, no more service calls from your local electrician, and read below to see what it’ll do to your electric bill!

Energy Savings

According to www.energy.gov LED lighting uses at least 75% less energy than the average fluorescent light. Additionally, LED’s don’t produce any heat, which saves even more energy from your A/C in the summer time. Not only will it save on energy costs in your home, it’s good for the environment as well by reducing wasted energy, and reducing wasted old parts that wear out after just a few months or years.

Wide Selection

The versatility and compact nature of LED’s has opened up new possibilities in the world of lighting. Low profile, Recessed, and even large chandeliers have a whole new range of options thanks to the implementation of LED technology. Most stores that carry light fixtures today will carry more LED fixtures than any other type. This means that it’s easier than ever to find what you’re looking for and make lighting look great in your home or office.

Conclusion

LED is the future of lighting, and offers so many benefits, there’s no reason to wait any longer! You can change the way your home looks, and save money while doing it. If you have questions, or would like to speak to an electrical expert, give East Side Electric a call today!
