LED LIGHTS ? The present and future of lighting

Posted by Jasmine James on June 8th, 2016

In last decade lighting industry has witnessed several advancements. Initially some renowned inventors come with new ways of lighting called CFLs (compact fluorescent lights) then CFLs were improved with several capabilities and now LEDs are dictating the lighting industry.

 LED or light-emitting diode is the latest and one of the most popular inventions of the current era. It uses a semiconductor to convert electricity into light. Incandescent and other conventional lighting methods were indispensible part of our life since last one century until LED emerged as an efficient alternative for them.

How significant was the invention of the LED is evident with the fact that three Japanese scientist Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano and Shuji Nakamura were rewarded with Nobel Prize in 2014 for ground breaking invention of blue light-emitting diode (LED). Here are the top benefits of using LED.

Long lasting: The advent of LED bulb has provides us more long-lasting and more efficient alternatives to older light sources. A normal LED light has the life span of 60,000 hours which is several time higher than any other ordinary lighting source. A LED bulb last ten times more than a normal CFLs (compact fluorescent lights) bulb.

Energy Efficiency: LED bulbs and other LED lighting products are proven to be more energy efficient than any other lighting means. Many reports suggest that LED bulbs saves 90% more electricity than incandescent bulbs. Once you pay for LED, it will pay you for years in term of remarkable savings both of electricity and money.

Safety: LED bulbs virtually didn’t generate heat and are extremely cool when we touch them. LEDs significantly reduce the risk of burn and fire.

Controllable: Many of LED products are controllable; they can be controlled through remote and other instructional means. Brightness and color of LED Lights can be controlled to the desired level. You can direct the light of several LEDs products to wherever you want and no light will be wasted.

LED is the present and future of lighting. It is replacing all other traditional ways of lighting at quite faster rates. There are several companies providing quality LED products in Australia. One of such companies that provide quality LED lighting products in Australia is Oz Diodes. They provide the best quality led strip lighting in Brisbane and Australia.
