LED Lights and Their Advantages
Did you know that light-emitting diodes, abbreviated in LEDs, are increasingly being used for different lighting applications? Their effectiveness has become the reason for their popularity. In fact, they have already proven to be a better option than incandescent and fluorescent lamps, which we have been using for a long time.
Life
An LED Lighting can work even up to fifty thousand hours. Of course, his life depends on the conditions in which he works. Under ideal conditions, it should not be exposed to humidity or excessively cold or hot temperatures.
Physical properties decide LED colors
LEDs are available in white, green, red, blue, white or amber. The color emitted by a diode is determined by the energy gap of the material used to make its p-n junction. The composition of a diode is a slice of N-type material, bearing a negative charge, and another slice of Positive-charged P-type material with electrodes at each end. The point where the two types of materials are joined forms a p-n junction. The energy differences of different types of p and n materials are different and measured in terms of wavelengths, resulting in light of different colors.
Directional lighting
When light needs to be directed to a particular point, you can use LED lights. Compared to traditional lighting options, these lightings are much more suitable for this purpose.
LEDs save energy
The usual incandescent lamps are notoriously energy inefficient. Nearly ninety percent of their energy consumption is wasted because of the heat they produce. In contrast, LED lamps to consume 75% less energy than incandescent lamps and produce only 3 to 4 BTU per hour, while incandescent lamps generate a heat of 85 BTU.
LEDs reduce energy spending
The energy consumption of LEDs is just 2-10 watts. This represents 1/3 to 1/30 of what incandescent lamps or CFLs consume. The lifespan of an LED bulb is 35 to 50 times longer than incandescent lamps and 2 to 5 times that of fluorescent lamps. According to estimates by the U.S. Department of Energy, intensive use of LED lighting over the next 20 years can save nearly $265 billion, enough for the construction of forty more power plants, reducing the demand for lighting by almost 33%.
LEDs don't need preheating time
LED lights turn on instantly, which means they deliver their maximum brightness as soon as they're on. For this reason, they are particularly useful for illuminating instruments used in aircraft, automobiles, flashlights and emergency lighting.
LED for home lighting
A wider beam of light can be generated by grouping several LED lamps together. Purdue University researchers have already developed a process using low-cost silicon wafers instead of expensive sapphire-based technology. These developments would go a long way to replacing the usual incandescent bulbs and even CFLs.
