The Benefits Of LED Light Bulbs

With environmental and energy concerns almost certain to grow, a more efficient bulb is needed. CFL bulbs are a lot more efficient, and are replacing incandescent bulbs in many uses, however, they have a few drawbacks, such has taking about a minute to reach their full brightness.

LED bulbs are a much better long-term alternative. Their only real disadvantage is cost, but their price will come down as they become more widely used. Their high level of efficiency is due to their special, solid-state design and way of producing light.

LED lighting is based upon the passage of electrons through a semiconductor material, which consists of both negatively and positively charged components. The positive layer contains slight openings that ‘free’ electrons from the negative component can pass through.

When an electric charge is applied to the semiconductor, a flow of electrons passes through the holes. Since they are moving from a higher to lower energy state, they emit energy in the form of photons, which can be directed to produce light.

This kind of lighting provides numerous advantages. Being solid-state and without filaments (which can burn out), LED bulbs will last much longer (some can last as long as 50,000 hours). Additionally, they are much more durable, and can withstand shocks that other bulbs cannot.

As they are more efficient, they run much cooler. This minimizes the danger of being burned by touching a hot bulb, and also saves on cooling costs in the summer, since the bulbs are not producing so much heat.

Unlike CFL bulbs, which take a while to reach their full brightness, LED bulbs come on within a second or two. They are also fully dimmable, can produce colored lighting without filters, and create a highly directional light, that is ideal for task lighting.
