Are LED lights energy efficient? LED’s – or ‘Light Emitting Diodes’ have revolutionized the lighting scene with great light quality and low energy consumption. Using on average only 20% of the energy that would be required to power a traditional filament or energy saving halogen lamp for the same light output, LED lamps can make a massive contribution to your energy saving effort. And when you think that the 25% of the average home energy budget is spent just keeping the lights on, even better. Now consider their lifespan. LED lights typically last up to 100,000 hours with almost no degradation of light output. And if you were to average that out at a typical 8 hours usage per day, that’s an amazing life expectancy of about 30 years. Unlike conventional lights, LEDs have a directional light source. The LED light therefore gives you increased control over the light and therefore less wasted light and pollution.
