What kind of lighting system have you deployed in your factory, business premise or home? Of all the lighting system available to us in Dubai, I have found the most efficient – LED lighting system.  This latest technology in lighting is a breath of fresh air from what we had, not only is it more efficient, but it is also more reliable.

LEDs, what are they?

LEDs or light-emitting diodes are semiconductors in which passing electrical current through them results in an emission of visible light. They are a more efficient lighting system compared to incandescent or compact fluorescent.

LED lighting products, on the other hand, contains these light emitting diodes and when electrical current passes the semiconductor material, it illuminates the tiny LED light sources, causing the heat produced in the process to be absorbed into a heat sink. This absorption of heat by LED lighting system is a more efficient way of energy management.

Now that we have established what LEDs are, it is appropriate we mention here that the standard colors of light emitted by LED are amber, blue, green and red. In other to get white light, the kind you need in your office or homes, different color LEDs are mixed or covered with a phosphor material in other to convert the emitted light color to the desired white color. Interestingly, the colored LEDs have their importance as they are used as signal and indicator lights.

Upgrading to LED: What you stand to gain

The importance of lighting cannot be overemphasized in our homes and offices, and the best lighting system to deploy is not just the most convenient, rather, the most cost-efficient and durable. To this end, the following are reasons why you should upgrade your lighting system to LED:

1. Efficiency: The technology driving the LED light is such that it is more efficient at converting electrical energy into visible light. Compared to standard fluorescent and incandescent halogen light, where most of the energy used is converted to heat, LED is known to consume less power and give off less heat.
2. Reliability: LED lamps require virtually no maintenance and are not prone to failure with an average expected expectancy of over 40,000 operating hours. Little wonder it is highly desirable for residential, commercial and industrial purposes. When you upgrade to LED lamps, you are going to spend less time changing faulty light making it your most reliable source of lighting.
3. Saves Cost:  If you want to save cost on energy consumption, you will not go wrong by upgrading to LED lighting system not minding the initial cost. Because of the efficient way LED manages power, the failure rate is low, and the rate of replacing the LED light is less frequent thereby saving you cost in the long term.
4. Reduced Environmental Impact:  LED lights are known to use less energy compared to traditional lighting systems, in the process, they emit less carbon dioxide and air pollutant. Studies have shown that fluorescent lights disposed adds to the mercury pollution in Dubai. To this end, upgrading to LEDs will eliminate post-consumer waste and lower mercury deposits to the environment.

Upgrade to LED lighting systems today and enjoy an innovative and a more efficient form of lighting that is cost effective in every way.
