One of the quickest, most cost-effective ways to promote the energy efficiency of your home is to upgrade to LED lightbulbs. These types of lights gorgeously illuminate interior space and offer an array of additional benefits. An electrical contractor may recommend LED lights, and below are a few reasons why. 

4 Reasons to Use LED Lights

1. Prolonged Bulb Lifespan

LED lightbulbs have an extraordinarily long life expectancy of up to 25,000 hours. Compare this to CFL bulbs, which usually last about 8,000 hours. Incandescent bulbs have the shortest lifespan at 1,200 hours. Furthermore, incandescent bulbs have a fragile filament that can break if you bump into its lamp fixture. 

2. Saves You Money

When you take into account the long life expectancy, low wattage, and average price per bulb LED lighting costs about $30 to operate for 20 years, as opposed to $200 for incandescent bulbs. 

3. Emits Cleaner Light 

Whereas fluorescent and incandescent bulbs often emanate a yellowish hue, electrical contractors may recommend LED lights to produce a bright white light called “daylight.” This type of brilliance better highlights your interior decor and helps you see objects’ lines more crisply.

4. Varies in Size & Color

LED bulbs are also available in a wide variety of sizes, which makes them easy to fit into many fixtures. You can also program them with your cell phone to produce many different colors, making them ideal for mood and entertainment lighting.
