9 reasons to switch to LED lighting
Lighting by traditional bulbs (incandescent, halogen, compact fluorescent, iodide ...) currently consumes more than 15% of the world's electricity production and emits, moreover, thousands of millions of tons of greenhouse gases. Replacing these luminaires with low-energy light bulbs, such as LEDs, is a much more economical and environmentally friendly solution, while being more efficient.
Lower electricity consumption
Incandescent or halogen bulbs are highly heated and consume a lot of electricity, unlike LEDs.
It is estimated that the latter consume 10 times less than incandescent , and between 6 to 8 times less than a halogen . What to reduce your electricity bill and reduce your expenses.
Very low heat release
Conventional bulbs emit a lot of heat since their external temperature can go up to 700 degrees.
Conversely, LED bulbs heat more lightly because they do not produce infrared radiation : between 25 and 35 degrees for those of low power, 50 degrees for the most powerful ones.
These low temperatures provide more security since the risks of starting fire are weakened .
No mercury
Unlike ordinary light bulbs, LEDs do not contain mercury, which is considered a toxic waste for both human health and the environment .
Another good point to mention, they are also partially recyclable.
No UV
An LED bulb does not emit any ultraviolet ray, nor infrared (IR) for that matter. A plus for your health since prolonged exposure to these types of radiation can be dangerous for your health.
Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
LED models emit up to 8 times less CO2 than an incandescent model . What to serve the world around us and preserve the ecology.
Instant ignition
The switch barely engaged, an LED bulb operates at full speed and emits a maximum light output. No more waiting for a few seconds before a room lights up , especially in those frequented regularly.
Limited loss of brightness
At the end of life, a lamppost can see its intensity weaken as time goes by. By opting for LEDs, the degradation of the lighting will be much slower .
Better strength
An LED lamp can illuminate for 100,000 hours: a longevity 15 to 25 times higher than traditional ones.
A good investment to do so, since their replacement is much less common.
A wide range of colors
Lighting, according to its color, will modify an environment, and allow you to perceive it differently: LED luminaires , offering a varied range of colors, offer you the possibility to illuminate your interior according to your desires , while allowing you some fantasies.
A surprising figure
A study released by economists indicates that if half of the light bulbs used by Americans were LED, 24 power plants could be closed across the country.
Earn bonuses by switching to LED lighting
In 2015, the Luxembourg government set up a system whose objective is to encourage consumers to save energy.
In this context, the " enoprimes " program was launched by Enovos: it allows any natural or legal person to receive subsidies if it performs work to achieve energy savings.
You can benefit from subsidies by modifying your lighting and by adopting LEDs since they are eligible for this program.
