Outdoor lightings are specially designed high quality LED /LVD since the lighting fixtures are exposed to extreme weather conditions. Some applications that come under this category are parking areas, playgrounds, street lighting , external decorations etc.
WHY ONLY HIGH QUALITY LED IS THE BEST LIGHTING SOLUTION?
In the search for energy-efficient lighting, LEDs have proven to be the most efficient bulbs available. Energy Star-rated LEDs use at least 75 percent less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and last 25 times longer, according to the Department of Energy. LEDs even outdo CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lighting) bulbs in efficiency, primarily because they have 5 times higher the lifespan in contrast to CFLs. LEDs are more efficient than both incandescent and CFLs because they emit light in a targeted direction instead of scattering it in all directions and they don’t require or emit great amounts of heat. Incandescent and CFLs release most of their energy as heat 90 percent and 80 percent, respectively
- Energy Saving
LEDs emit light in a specific direction, whereas an incandescent or fluorescent bulb emits light and heat in all directions. For direct lighting applications LED lighting uses both light and energy more efficiently.
For example, an incandescent or compact fluorescent (CFL) bulb inside of a recessed can waste about half of the light that it produces, while a recessed down light with LEDs only produces light where it’s needed in the room below.
Furthermore, LEDs have the longest lifespan.
Better Light Quality
CFL energy saving bulbs provide flickering light which affects the human brain. Medical researches state that it could cause headaches and migraines. LED bulbs use constant current and the shade of white light appears clear and consistent over time.
The light of LED bulb is much more pleasant to the eye whether it’s cold or warm white.
Another quality is the ability of directing light without wasting it. When designed well, LED lighting is more efficient, durable, versatile and lasts longer than incandescent and fluorescent lighting.
