FAQ

WHAT IS LED LIGHTING?

 

LED, which stands for light-emitting diode, is a game-changer in lighting technology. These little devices are incredibly efficient, producing light much better than traditional incandescent bulbs.

 

Here's the basic idea of how they work: when you send electricity through a tiny chip, it lights up small sources called LEDs. These LEDs team up to create the visible light that brightens up our spaces. It's like a high-tech collaboration on a tiny scale, where electrons and photons join forces to make light happen.

 

Now, every light source creates heat, and LEDs are no exception. To avoid any issues, there's a smart solution in place. The heat produced by the LEDs is carefully absorbed by something called a heat sink. This keeps the LED system working well for a long time, managing any extra heat that shows up during the lighting process.

 

HOW DO LED LIGHTS DIFFER FROM TRADITIONAL INCANDESCENT BULBS?

 

LEDs, sized like minuscule grains, possess the unique ability to project light in a diverse array of colours through the combination of red, green, and blue LEDs. Unlike traditional lighting counterparts, LEDs direct their light with precision, eliminating the need for light-trapping devices such as reflectors and diffusers. This directional emission enhances efficiency, particularly in applications like recessed downlights and task lighting.

 

Diverging from the heat-intensive nature of incandescent bulbs, LEDs emit negligible heat. In stark contrast to traditional bulbs that dissipate a significant portion of their energy as heat, LEDs stand out as a cooler and more energy-efficient alternative.

 

An exceptional characteristic of LED lighting is its prolonged lifespan compared to other lighting variants. A top-notch LED bulb can endure three to five times longer than a CFL and an impressive 30 times longer than an incandescent bulb. This extended longevity not only reduces the frequency of replacements but also contributes significantly to overall energy conservation.

 

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WATTS AND LUMENS IN LED LIGHTING?

 

Lumens quantify the total brightness emitted by a light source, encapsulating the overall light output, while wattage simply denotes the energy consumption. Thanks to ongoing strides in energy efficiency, the same lumen output can now be achieved with progressively lower wattages, especially evident in the shift from traditional bulbs to LED lighting. Consequently, when upgrading to LED lighting from incandescent bulbs, for example, it is essential to compare lumens rather than wattage to ensure consistent brightness levels.

 

DO LED LIGHTS REQUIRE A SPECIAL TYPE OF DIMMER SWITCH?

 

Various light technologies require specific types of dimmers. Specifically, dimmable LED lights can only be effectively dimmed with a compatible LED dimmer. The internal driver within these lights establishes a range of minimum and maximum loads, crucial in determining the extent to which the light can be dimmed.

 

By incorporating a dimmer, you gain enhanced control over the brightness of your lighting. This not only allows for customization to suit different preferences but also facilitates energy conservation during times when less artificial lighting is required. Consequently, the question arises: Can you employ a dimmer switch with LED lights? Indeed, you can; however, it is imperative to ensure that the dimmer selected is specifically designed for use with LED lights. Compatibility is key in maximizing the benefits of dimming functionality while maintaining optimal performance and efficiency.

 

WHAT IS THE LIFESPAN OF LED LIGHTING?

 

In recent times, a notable shift has occurred as numerous individuals transition from outdated incandescent or halogen bulbs to LED lighting, primarily motivated by the remarkable longevity offered by this technology.

 

The typical lifespan of an LED light reaches an impressive 50,000 hours, a substantial contrast to the relatively short lifespans of many traditional bulbs, which often only endure for a few thousand hours. This shift brings about the welcome advantage of avoiding frequent bulb replacements. Beyond the time saved, opting for LED lighting proves to be a more cost-effective choice in the grand scheme of things.
