5 Benefits of Using LED Lighting over
Conventional Lighting
2
Cost Effectiveness

• Pros LEDs may be more expensive initially, but
  they will last longer than conventional lights.
  In fact, some LED light bulbs can offer a
  lifespan of as long as 60,000 hours, compared to
  only 1,000 hours with incandescent or fluorescent
  bulbs.
• Cons They are definitely more expensive to
  purchase from the outset. If you have to replace
  a lot of bulbs all at once, you may not be
  willing or able to pay large sums purely for
  light bulbs.

3
Energy Efficiency

• Pros LEDs are probably the most efficient type
  of lighting on the market today. Typical source
  efficiency ranges between 37 and 120 lumens/watt,
  whereas most values for LED system efficiency
  fall above 50 lumens/watt.
• Cons You may need very bright illumination
  that would be better served using traditional
  bulbs, in which case LED may not produce the
  amount of light you require.

4
Environmental Concerns

• Pros LED lights contain virtually no toxic
  chemicals and are free from mercury. This makes
  them incredibly environmentally friendly and 100
  recyclable.
• Cons Cool white LED lights emit much more
  blue light than conventional light sources,
  especially in outside lighting. This means that
  they can cause far more light pollution than
  other sources like conventional lights.

5
Operational in Every Temperature

• Pros Because LED lights do not contain moving
  parts, they are far more durable and better
  suited to outdoor, or hard to reach environments.
  They can take a fair bit of banging about before
  they fail.
• Cons If you are looking to use lighting
  outside, be aware that LED performance largely
  depends on the ambient temperature of the
  operating environment. Too hot or too cold, the
  unit may fail.

6
Emitted Light Quality

• Pros LED lights produce a pretty good spectrum
  of lights and are available in a wide variety of
  colors, making them a good choice for many
  domestic and commercial applications.
• Cons If you are looking for professional grade
  lighting, with a particular requirement for
  high-quality rendering, LED lights can render
  badly using cool-white LEDs.
