LED Lighting
Quick Definition
Energy-efficient light bulbs that use 75% less energy and last 25 times longer than traditional incandescent bulbs
LED (Light Emitting Diode) lighting provides the same light output as traditional bulbs while using significantly less energy and lasting much longer. They're available in various colors and dimming options.
What You Need to Know
LEDs use 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs and last 25-50 times longer. While initially more expensive, they save money through reduced energy costs and replacement frequency. They produce less heat, reducing cooling costs.
Why It Matters for Your Home
Lighting accounts for about 10% of home electricity use. Switching to LEDs can reduce lighting costs by 75% and eliminate frequent bulb replacements. They contain no mercury and are environmentally friendly.
How to Choose LEDs
Look for ENERGY STAR certified LEDs. Consider color temperature (warm white for living areas, cool white for tasks), dimming capability, and bulb shape for your fixtures.
When to Get Professional Help
Most LED bulbs are direct replacements requiring no professional help. However, installing LED recessed lighting or smart LED systems may require an electrician.
