For many people, probably the single biggest factor against low-energy LED lighting to replace the soon-to-be-regular light bulb phase-out is the cost difference. There is no doubt that an LED bulb is equivalent to (for example, a lamp 6W LED as a direct replacement for GU10 halogen lamp 35W) is significantly more expensive than the original or a CFL alternative.
However, there are three important points to consider to meet the highest pricefor low-power LED light bulbs and energy saving light bulbs than CFLs.
Initially the price difference reflects the fact that the use of LEDs for general lighting in private homes still fairly new, but levels of production and consumption is the increasing adoption drive prices down drastically when both are fully feature in the coming months.
Secondly, and partly on the observation that the cost of LEDs by a factor of more than twenty dropsof each decade. This feature is reliable by Haitz Act (very similar to Moore's Law for computer chips and for similar reasons, mainly because LED's are like computer chips, purely electronic devices) requirements. Haitz also found that the power LED (amount of light per watt of electricity) has increased tenfold in the same decade.
Third, and perhaps more intriguing is the fact that, as the cost of lighting in private households are concerned, the price of the bulbs is almostcompletely irrelevant. This is an extraordinary fact and easy to prove that even if the bulbs say completely free and LED lights cost us something outrageous, like $ 80, would still be much cheaper to buy energy saving light bulbs to LEDs.
The reason is simple: the cost of electric lighting, the cost of energy, ie electricity. There is no point what the true cost of the bulbs, is what counts for them, costs. Moreover, sinceLast for tens of thousands of hours (in practice, decades of use) you just have to pay the purchase price immediately, unlike ordinary incandescent bulbs, which last only up to 2,000 hours a year or so LEDs.
The complaint's second largest energy-efficient lighting LED is bright and the quality or technical term brightness and color.
Concern for the brightness is very much on the historical notions of LED lighting applications such as LED Christmas lights and flashlights, theare clearly not capable of lighting in private homes even remotely useful. However, you can now purchase one of the new series from Sharp Zenigata LED bulbs, which is rated at 80 lumens per watt (a measure of brightness).
To understand what this means, consider offering a 40W light bulb about 360 lumens and a light bulb of 60W approximately 540 lumens, which provides a ratio of 9 lumens per watt. More than 25 lumens per watt must be classified asEnergy saving lamp. Zenigata LED lamps consume 6.7 watts, generating 6.7 * 80 lumens per watt is equal to 536 lumens of them, on par with the standard bulb 60w.
So you could replace just now, all the bulbs with LED lamps 60W Zenigata with 6.7 watts of power consumption, and 1:10 (or 90% less) power. And remember Haitz law? Because of performance improvements, 18 months from now it should be possible, with the same amount of light available from 60Wonly 3 watts.
LEDs, along with compact fluorescent lamps tend to be a little 'cold blue, but we are more accustomed to a warm yellow are white. This is something that is now commonplace with the use of colored phosphors (to reduce the brightness to do, but that in turn is offset by the results lumens per watt for LEDs) directed.
The third factor considered to weigh against the low-energy LED lighting could, is that the light emitted from an LEDinherently directional and do not disperse in all directions how to make the incandescent and fluorescent. This is actually quite acceptable in a spotlight, flood lights or bright reading lamp, but it is particularly effective for the emulation of indoor general lighting, a table lamp would be. Although even here there are the LED general lighting bulbs turned increasingly willing to do a decent job here.
Two obvious advantages for low power LED lightingare easy to retrofit and green credentials (not just energy conservation).
LED lights are widely available for all standard accessories such as electricity socket GU10 and MR16 12V and low power consumption standard GU24 base and regular bayonet and Edison screw. LED lights also do not suffer from many problems associated with compact fluorescent lamps, such as Related: significantly lower start-up times, reduced service life caused by the transition on and off frequently, and bulkyunattractive light bulbs.
But perhaps one of the most well-known advantages of low-energy LED lighting, energy saving CFL bulbs do not contain toxic mercury vapor lamps or other unpleasant substances, and therefore a serious health risk or require cumbersome and expensive method for disposal of environmental protection.
In summary, the main disadvantages perceived costs of home energy-saving LED lighting and the use (brightness and color) are. But as weHaving regard to the cost of a bulb is actually a Red Herring - the true cost of electric lighting, the price of electricity and in this sense, the extremely low power consumption LED lighting is everything else, including energy saving lamps compact fluorescent, completely overshadowed (pun intended).
In terms of brightness and light quality, lighting LED lights offer the bottom line a clean, crisp lighter than CFL bulbs, and offer greater flexibility in choosing the color and brightness.
Finally, the biggest advantageand low domestic energy LED lighting has over its competitors is that the lighting industry is considered as an internal LED lighting in the future and can barely conceal their contempt for compact fluorescent lamps. Giants such as Philips Lighting is on record as stating not to invest a single dollar in more compact fluorescent lamps and that the efforts of all their research and development are now targeting the domestic technology of LED lighting.
Those who follow the trends of green technology, are aware that there is a globalPhasing out of incandescent bulbs already in full swing and is completed within the next few years. In view of international law incandescent and lack of support for the unloved and CFL Already, Certain is near where the future of lighting is not permitted - low power consumption LED. And to go as the benefits, I would say that one is pretty convincing.
