Switching to LED lighting has many benefits:

While LED lights require a higher initial buy-in, switching to LED lighting is a great way to save money on your hydro bill and consider the environment at the same time. LED lighting will last longer, use a fraction of the energy that incandescent light bulbs consume, and come in a wide variety of options. The savings you’ll see on your energy bills offset the higher price per fixture, and most manufacturers provide a 5-year warranty on their products.

Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is the underlying advantage. LED lighting will save you money because they consume far less wattage than other types of lamps. A 9-watt LED lamp can provide a similar or greater lighting effect than a 60-watt incandescent bulb. As a result, your energy bill will drop significantly, recouping your costs and saving more money over time.

Long Lasting

The cost to purchase LED lamps is higher than incandescent or halogen light bulbs but they will last considerably longer as they run much cooler and are electronic. Depending on where you purchase your LED lamps, there will be a warranty. Our suppliers offer a 5-year warranty.

Run Cooler

LED lighting is a great alternative to incandescent or halogen lighting because it runs much cooler. Working in an area with a low ceiling can get very warm with halogen lighting as it radiates heat and can cause an uncomfortable room in the summer months.

Illuminate More

LED lighting also spreads light in a wider beam angle, illuminating greater surface areas on your walls than traditional lights. This works very well outdoors, where floodlights need to cover a wide area on a low energy budget.

Easy Installation

Fit into existing sockets: LED lamps fit existing sockets without requiring retrofitting. This makes installing them a straightforward job.

Convenience

Turn on instantly: Compared to fluorescent lights, which need a minute or two to reach full brightness, LED lights turn on instantly. You can usually install LED lights with standard dimmer switches, but consult an experienced electrician to ensure that your dimmers aren’t the low-quality versions that are not compatible with LED lighting.

Variety of Colours and Shades:

LED lighting comes in a variety of colours and shades, offering many options for your preference of lighting effect.

They are rated in lumens and colour temperature (a 4 digit number with a K at the end).

  • Traditional Warm White: 2700K lighting emits a faint yellow light that resembles a traditional 60-watt incandescent bulb. The traditional decorator would typically appreciate this shade.
  • Warm White: 3000K lighting emits a white light instead of yellow, providing a marginally colder feel that complements modern homes. It really highlights true colours so you can appreciate your paint colour choices, and is often appreciated by contemporary decorators.
  • Cool White: 4000K lighting provides a brighter light, creating an even cooler lighting effect
  • Bright White: 5000K lighting provides a much cooler effect for environments that require the appearance of daylight.

If you have the desire to switch to LED lighting in your home or workplace, we look forward to hearing from you!
