It’s nice to think about your future. It’s even nicer to think that your future is bright. Thankfully, we have LED lights, which are glaring (pun intended) reminders that the future isn’t as bleak or dark as we may think. Notwithstanding the obvious – that LED lights are an energy-efficient and eco-friendly way to light up our lives and homes, LED lights are allowing us to make giant leaps in just about every industry. As if plucked out of Star Trek, LED lights are bringing the future straight to our doorsteps.
You can’t pick up a paper nowadays and NOT see something about LED lights. For instance, as we’ve pointed out numerous times in this blog, LED lights are changing the face of the medical industry, with many LED medical treatments having been approved by the FDA – whether they’re illuminating operating rooms or being used for infrared pain treatment, LED lights are certainly everywhere. Medical use? Check. Anything else?
Yes!
LED lights are helping sports to evolve, especially where teams play their games. Just recently, Safeco Field (where the Seattle Mariners play) has been outfitted with “brand new, ahead-of-the-curve lighting system” (Yahoo News). Yes, the Mariners are now the first MLB franchise to illuminate their stadium with LED lights. This of course will conserve energy and have a better impact on the environment, but to put it simply: LED lights create a better all-around sporting experience. As Mark Townsend points out, LED lights “will reduce glare and shadows on the field and create a better all-around experience for everybody concerned, including home viewers.”
From improving playing conditions to fine-tuning what you see on the television, LED lights have improved America’s greatest pastime. What more do you need to know? Oh – maybe you want to install your own LED lights in and out of your home. Well, here are some important facts regarding LED lights.
Finding the right lights for your property is an important decision that every homeowner has to make. At Illuminations USA, we’re proud to offer a large selection of lighting options to our valued customers, and chief among these are LED lights. There are so many interesting facts about these lights, and we’re here to talk about just a few of the most important and relevant ones to you.
First off, many people claim that LED lights last forever. But is that really true? While it may be a stretch to say an LED light will still be on thousands of years from now, in the amount of time you use one you should never see it go out. In fact, LED lights can last for more than 80,000 hours, as long as you take proper care of them. Proper installation and maintenance is always important, and so is making sure a proper driver is used so they don’t overheat. Luckily, our team is here to make sure all of this is done properly so you can enjoy your LED lights for years to come.
Besides their long lasting nature, another important fact regarding LED lights is how much, or should we say little, energy they use. That’s right, installing LED lights are a great way to cut down on your energy bill. Not only do they only use a fraction of the energy required by standard halogen lights, but they output as much as 85% more light. That means you’re paying less and getting more!
These are just a few of the most crucial facts regarding LED lights, but there is so much else to learn about them. Browse our site for additional details, or contact the team at Illuminations USA if you have any questions!
If you do it right, your home will be as potent as Seattle’s Safeco Field!
