Lighting FAQs: Your Questions Answered
LEDs: Frequently Asked Questions:
How much energy does LED lighting use compared to other forms of lighting?
LED lighting stands out as a highly energy-efficient lighting option, capable of significantly reducing energy usage and depending on the wattage of the lights being swapped, slashing lighting bills by as much as 80-90%.
The widespread adoption of LED lighting has the potential to markedly decrease global energy consumption as more people change over to LED, lowering both their energy usage and lighting expenses.
LEDs can be so cost-effective that the initial investment is often recovered within an impressive time frame.
How long is the lifespan of LED lighting?
LED lights boast significantly longer lifespans compared to traditional lighting options.
For example, while an incandescent bulb typically has a rated lifespan of 1,000 hours, its LED counterpart can last for 15,000 to 25,000 hours. Similarly, an LED downlight replacement can last for up to 50,000 hours L70, far outlasting an incandescent downlight bulb.
In comparison to a fluorescent tube's 10,000-hour lifespan, an LED tube can last for 50,000 hours L70.
Opting for LED not only results in savings on lighting expenses but also reduces the frequency of lighting replacements.
What does CRI mean?
CRI is a scale which measures how well a light source brings out the true colour of objects.
If lighting has a low CRI rating, then it won't be as effective at bringing out the true colour of objects as lighting with higher ratings.
Higher CRI rated lights can bring out the full, range of colors inside the area it illuminates more effectively than lower CRI ratings
Consider the times you may have or may have observed someone in a store moving an item closer to a window to be able to see its colour more clearly.
LEDs typically boast a high CRI.
What does IP rating mean?
The Ingress Protection rating (IP rating) is a standardized classification system which defines the protection level an electrical or electronic enclosure provides against the intrusion of solid particles (like dust) and liquids (such as water).

About LED Lighting
LED, or Light Emitting Diode, is a semiconductor device that emits light when an electric current passes through it. Unlike traditional incandescent bulbs, which waste a significant amount of energy as heat, LED lights convert most of their energy into visible light. This efficiency translates into lower electricity bills and a reduced carbon footprint, making LED lighting an environmentally friendly option.
One of the key advantages of LED lighting is its versatility. Whether you need bright illumination for a workspace, soft lighting for a cozy living room, or colorful accents for an event, LED lights can be tailored to meet your specific needs. With a wide range of color temperatures and brightness levels available, you can create the perfect ambiance for any occasion.
In addition to their energy efficiency and versatility, LED lights are also incredibly durable. They are designed to withstand shocks, vibrations, and extreme temperatures, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. This durability means that LED lights have a much longer lifespan compared to traditional bulbs, often lasting up to 50,000 hours or more. This longevity not only saves you money on replacements but also reduces waste, contributing to a more sustainable future.
