Save money with LED lighting

Lighting is an important element for the ambiance of our home and our wallet. Thanks to the new LED bulbs, you can save a lot of money.

Totaling 12.8% of energy expenditure, the lighting weighs in the budget. The invention of Led bulbs in the 1960s revolutionized modern lighting. More and more popular, this technology offers interesting perspectives for low-energy quality lighting: ecology, economy, and sustainability. These are all assets that encourage us to turn increasingly to these energy-saving bulbs, rather than to other types of lighting.

Different types of lighting

·        Incandescent bulbs (or filament bulbs): with an average yield and a short life. They are too greedy in energy and thus in the process of disappearing.

·        Halogen bulbs: twenty to thirty times more efficient than incandescent bulbs, they can save energy by 30 to 50%. Their brightness close to that of the sun is perfect for reading or painstaking work. Their cost, however, remains high.

·        Fluorescent bulbs compact or "low consumption": in the form of fluorescent tubes folded miniature version. They are an alternative to traditional bulbs because they consume less energy and often last longer. However, their ignition remains slow and the presence of mercury is a source of pollution. We must recycle them.

·        Led bulbs: they produce light with very low voltage. The light emitting diode (LED) lamp uses light-emitting diodes. Available initially in three colors (red, yellow, green), they were used for the indicator lights of the devices. They have since spread to all the lighting and all types of lamps, wall lamps and suspensions of the house.

Led: a safe option for certain savings.

According to specialists, LED lighting allows homes to achieve energy savings of 70%.

With energy consumption 10 times lower than incandescent bulbs, LEDs are more economical and more environmentally friendly. They last 12 to 30 times longer. An example of an easy economy: replace your conventional 50-watt bulbs with 5-watt LED bulbs that are more durable and have an estimated lifespan of 50,000 hours.

LED technology has other advantages:

·        LED lighting provides a stable and powerful light, capable of reproducing colors with precision and without any alteration. Unlike halogen or incandescent bulbs, LED models immediately reach their luminous intensity and emit a cool light.

·        Led bulbs emit almost no heat and thus avoid burns.

·        They do not give off ultraviolet light.
