Low-energy LED lighting technology is the way of the future. Are you currently still in the dark? TriStar Electric is here to debunk a few common myths about LED light bulbs, clarifying their many benefits and overall performance. Let us help you separate the facts from the hype about this increasingly popular lighting option. Read on to learn more!
LED Lights Last Forever
How long do LED light bulbs actually last? Like all sources of light, LEDs will fade slowly as time passes, depending on operating conditions. Well-designed fixtures could retain 70 percent of their initial light output for up to six years, or around 50,000 hours or more. If you are running them 24/7, then they will last you twice as long as fluorescents and much longer than incandescent lights.
LED Light Bulbs are Pricey
The total cost of LED lighting over time could be much lower than that of conventional systems. Though the initial fixture costs could be higher, LED fixtures have a much longer and useful life, are much more durable and reliable, requiring less maintenance or material costs, and use a lot less energy than their incandescent and fluorescent counterparts. Annual lighting costs could be reduced by up to 80 percent, and payback on your overall investment could sometimes be achieved in less than three years.
I Should Wait for LED Pricing to Go Down Before Investing in It
Waiting will cost you more in the long term. LED lighting is usually one of the best energy expenses to invest in for your business. Incremental price declining LED technology will be more offset by paybacks in energy savings. It doesn’t pay to wait.
LED Lighting Technology is “Too New”
LED light bulbs have been widespread in their use for over a decade. LED lights have earned their place as a dependable lighting technology, having been used in crucial safety applications and gaining popularity for industrial usage thanks to their cost-effectiveness, sustainability, efficiency, and high-quality light. Their impressive durability makes them a popular choice for high-intensity industrial applications like manufacturing operations, maintenance, warehousing, and much more.
