One of the most important electrical rewiring jobs you can arrange for your home is to have a full lighting retrofit for your indoor lights. If you have an older home, we recommend working with a professional electrician in Crestview to have this done—not because you may need better home lighting (although you might!), but because you can have your interior lighting fully upgraded to LED lighting.
LED lights are becoming increasingly the standard for new homes, and for some extremely good reasons. Below, we’ll talk more about LED lights and why we recommend you arrange for our electrical team to upgrade your home with these lights.
How LED Lights Work
LED stands for light-emitting diode. Unlike traditional incandescent bulbs, which rely on heating a filament to produce light, LEDs use semiconductors that emit light when electricity passes through them. This process is much more efficient, as very little energy is wasted in the form of heat, which is one reason LEDs last much longer than other types of bulbs.
The Great Benefits of LED Lighting
You can likely guess from the description above how LED lights can benefit your home. There are probably quite a few you may not have thought of including:
- Energy Efficiency: LED lights use a fraction of the electricity that traditional incandescent or CFL bulbs consume. They can reduce your lighting energy usage by up to 75%, which can significantly lower your energy bills over time. This also makes them environmentally friendly, as they reduce overall energy consumption.
- Long Lifespan: One of the most appealing advantages of LED lights is their longevity. An LED bulb can last up to 25,000 hours or more, far outlasting traditional lighting options. This means fewer replacements and less maintenance.
- Improved Light Quality: LED lights are available in a variety of color temperatures, allowing you to customize the lighting in your home to create the ambiance you want. From warm, cozy lighting to bright, cool lighting, LEDs offer flexibility that other bulbs do not.
- Durability: LEDs are highly durable because they don’t have filaments or fragile glass. This makes them resistant to shocks, vibrations, and external impacts, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.
- Instant Lighting: Unlike some other energy-saving options, such as CFLs, LEDs turn on at full brightness instantly. This is particularly useful for areas where you need immediate, bright light, like hallways or outdoor spaces.
- Eco-Friendly: LED lights don’t contain toxic chemicals like mercury, which is found in CFL bulbs. They are also 100% recyclable, making them a more environmentally responsible choice.
