3 reasons why LED lighting is the lighting of the future

Almost the entire lighting industry loves one type of lighting: LED. Although lighting experts are familiar with the benefits of LED lighting, many consumers will wonder why this new lighting technology is so popular. That is why there are three reasons why LED is the future of lighting.

1. RELIABILITY

As you may know, LED lighting is actually decades old. This raises the question: why is LED lighting only taking such a flight? The answer is simple: reliability. In the past, LED lamps had to cope with a number of technical problems such as overheating, a rapid decline in light quality and a high risk of melting.

Fortunately, the development of the LED lamp has not stood still and has been considerably modernized in recent years. Modern LED lamps now have an extremely long lifespan, high-tech cooling elements to prevent overheating and form a qualitative light source for a long period of time. Now that LED lighting is more reliable, consumers can fully exploit the benefits of this technology.

2. EFFICIENCY & SUSTAINABILITY

A combination of less money to be spent, changes in legislation and the demand for sustainable technology has meant that consumers have a greater need for lighting with efficient energy consumption. Since 1 September 2012, incandescent bulbs may no longer be sold in the EU. At least, the stocks that the stores still had were allowed to be sold until September 1 this year. In addition, the LED lamp is, of course, many times more energy efficient than an incandescent lamp. In addition to being good for your own wallet, this is also good for the environment. The EU expects the abolition of the incandescent lamp to mean an energy saving of 40TWh (terawatt-hour) per year. Or the consumption of 10 million European households.

In addition to LED lighting, there are of course other sustainable lighting technologies, such as energy-saving lamps and halogen lighting. But LED lighting lasts much longer. A high-quality energy saving lamp can last 12,000 hours, but a good LED lamp can last longer than 50,000 hours. Thanks to the impressive durability and long service life, LED lighting is a highly sustainable lighting technology.

3. FLEXIBILITY

Some lighting technologies have limitations such as application, color temperature, or design. LED lighting does not have these problems. The LED technology is found in streets and houses and covers a huge range of color temperatures from 2700K-6500K and is available for almost every luminaire.

If you look around your house you will see that there are many places where LED lighting can be applied. From bright light for example in the kitchen on your worktop to  LED spots as mood lighting in your living room.
