For What Reason Are Led Bulbs Getting So Popular
Nowadays the complete focus is on growing energy efficient tools which are environment friendly. We can definitely not manage to play havoc with nature. We're currently experiencing the ill effects of global warming caused by the excessive carbon emissions in the atmosphere. Bearing this in your mind, LED light bulbs have been introduced and they are fast substituting incandescent bulbs as well as compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs). LED light bulbs use only a fraction of the energy used by the incandescent and compact fluorescent bulbs. Therefore, it is a green option for lighting spaces. A 12v LED light bulb is as powerful as a 40W incandescent bulb however uses just 2W of power. Which means that these sorts of bulbs use only 5-10 percent of electricity consumed by the traditional bulbs.
Initially, LEDs were used only for indicator lights in electronic tools however now they are being used for lighting purposes too. A light providing diode bulb is composed of a few LED light bulbs clustered together. They emit light in ultraviolet, visible, and infrared wavelength. The color of the light depends on the doping material of the semiconductor.
Not only these bulbs are energy efficient but they also last longer. They have a life of 7 to 10 yrs depending upon their usage. A 12v LED light bulb when used only for 8 hours a day can work for up to 10 years. Even though many individuals ditch the idea of purchasing these bulbs due to their high price, they turn out to be a cheap choice for lighting in the long run. They have five times long life than compact fluorescent lamps, which last for only 2 years. Moreover, by using these bulbs in your own home, you can minimize your electricity bills by about 15 to 25 percent. They do not just reduce the cost of lighting but also the cost of air-conditioning. All these bulbs do not emit excessive heat as incandescent bulbs do. For this reason, unlike traditional bulbs they do not heat up the room, which eventually reduces the burden on the air conditioning system.
LED light bulbs are mercury free and for this reason do not harm the surroundings and the health of the residents. Even, they do not flicker. The shocks and vibrations do not easily harm them as they do not have any filament. These are generally available in a wide range of wattages. The most widely used ones are the 12v LED light bulbs which give illumination equal to a 40 or 60 Watt incandescent bulb based upon its specifications. You can purchase LED floodlights, dimmers, bi-pin lights, flashlights, globes, and so on in different colors. LED light bulbs do not require filters for producing lights of different colors. Companies make LED light bulbs that release light of different colors by using various semiconductor materials. They also score over incandescent bulbs in terms of luminous efficiency. While the efficiency of a LED light bulb is 55 lumens per Watt, that of an incandescent bulb is only 15 lumens per Watt.
When everybody is aiming to reduce their carbon footprints, such bulbs have come as a boon. The companies are finding ways to reduce the manufacturing cost of these bulbs so that they can be made available to the masses at affordable prices.
