A LED lamp, or Light Emitting Diode, is a modern light source that uses semiconductor technology to convert electricity into light. Unlike traditional lamps that use a filament, LED lamps generate light very efficiently and with no warm-up time. They turn on instantly at full brightness.
A LED lamp typically consumes up to 80–90% less energy than traditional lamps, resulting in significantly lower electricity costs. The lifespan is also much longer – usually between 15,000 and 50,000 hours – reducing the need for frequent replacements. This makes LED a cost-effective and sustainable choice.
The brightness of a LED lamp is measured in lumens, with a higher lumen value providing stronger light. Colour temperatures like 4000K deliver a neutral white light, suitable for both homes and workplaces. A true LED is a diode that produces light directly from the semiconductor, and its quality determines both brightness and durability.
LED lamps have become a popular and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional lighting. They offer many benefits, but there are also some factors to consider before making the switch.
Contain no hazardous substances such as mercury, making them more environmentally friendly.
Available in many versions, fitting most luminaires.
Deliver higher light output with lower energy consumption compared to traditional lamps.
Brightness is measured in lumens, giving a clearer and more accurate measure than watts.
May have a higher purchase price than traditional lamps.
Some models may not work optimally with dimmers or may have limited light distribution.
By weighing these factors, you can make an informed choice that suits your needs and sustainability goals.
