LED Home Illumination - How You Can Have The Benefit Of It

Lot of people have come across LED Home Lighting in one form or another; usually in torches, Christmas light fittings and solar or mains powered garden lighting. However many are still ignorant that home LED home lighting is currently not only possible, but very much the future of household lighting.

The Lighting Industry is soon dropping further investment within the present generation of low-energy lamps (Compact Fluorescent Lamps or CFLs - ungainly, garish and, being crammed with Mercury vapour, a disposal nightmare). Companies like the giant Philips Lighting Corporation have already stated their dedication to LED Home Lighting as the best way forward.

Because of this the availability, range and affordability of LED Home Lighting solutions is growing at an explosive rate. However as at this point it is still best to set up LED Home Lighting into your personal home by approaching those application that LEDs are best able to replace.

The essential difference between conventional incandescent light bulbs and LED lights is that the former wastes up to 98% of the electrical energy provided as heat however does shine light in all directions, whereas LED light sources convert nearly all their electricity into light (therefore the reason they stay cool to the touch) however shine a pure and very intense directional light.

Another key differentiator is cost of ownership. LED light bulbs last an incredibly long time (three decades of normal use) and cost so little to run that the amount of electricity used throughout the entire lifetime of a bulb is almost certain to be less than the price of the bulb itself. This is in stark contrast to normal non-LED bulbs that are typically well over 500 times the purchase price of the bulb itself in operating and replacement costs.

These specific qualities (extremely efficient, zero fire risk and focused light) make LED light bulbs a perfect substitute for spot lights, particularly the popular halogen lamps now found in numerous homes and that waste heat and money in abundance.

However changing domestic halogen down lighters is just one aspect of spot lighting that LED lamps are perfect for. Additionally they make appropriate display lighting and as a bonus can be fitted in places where you couldn't even think about using conventional incandescent spot lights due to the risk of damage and fire from their extremely high operating temperature.

LED spot illuminations are a natural alternative for bringing illumination to display units, shelves, beneath kitchen units and inside cupboards and wardrobes. They can be easily installed next to objects and surfaces without any threat of causing heat damage and often give a much better light than ordinary light bulbs in such applications.

Another dimension that home LED home lighting is revolutionising is mood lighting, bringing completely new array of effects that existing lighting technology cannot begin to emulate. LED mood lighting offers a completely new palette of vibrant color that may be altered and blended at will to produce striking effects, either as a focal point or cast against floor surfaces, ceilings and walls to change the ambiance of any room or space in your house.
