WHAT ARE LED LIGHTS?
LED stands for ‘Light Emitting Diode.’ It’s a semiconductor that converts electrical current into light with high efficiency. When electric current passes through the built-in microchip, it illuminates the tiny light sources called LEDs that emit light in the visible spectrum.
Unlike old light bulbs (incandescent and CFLs), LED lights don’t require a filament or fluorescent gas to produce light. Hence, they don’t produce any heat when lit – thanks to the built-in heat sink that absorbs radiated heat to keep energy consumption and heat dissipation low. This mean – about 80% less energy is used to produce greater brightness per watt while emitting almost negligible heat.
ARE LED LIGHTS WORTH IT?
LED technology has been around for some time and fast becoming an effective and reliable lighting solution. LEDs are well known for their longevity and high-energy efficiency. LEDs we install last 30,000 to 50,000 hours, considerably higher than the 1,000 hours for an incandescent bulb and 8,000 to 10,000 hours for a CFL bulb. LEDs usually don’t burn out like incandescent bulbs.
Ecologically, LEDs consume very low energy compared to conventional lighting products. Low-energy consumption translates into a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, while longevity in waste reduction.
Monetarily, low-energy consumption and longer lifespan translate into savings through reduced power bills and zero maintenance costs.
Hence, from the financial and environmental perspective, switching to LEDs is the right approach.
HOW LEDS ARE DIFFERENT FROM INCANDESCENT BULBS AND CFLS?
LED bulbs are very different from incandescent bulbs and CFLs. Key differences include the following:
- Light Source: LEDs are of grain size, and a mix of red, green, and blue LEDs is typically used to make white light.
- Direction: LEDs emit light in a specific direction, reducing the need for reflectors that can trap light. This feature makes LEDs more efficient.
- Heat: LEDs emit very little heat, whereas incandescents release about 90% of their energy as heat and CFLs release about 80% of energy as heat.
- Lumen & Wattage: LED bulbs require much less wattage than CFL or Incandescent light bulbs, which is why LEDs are more energy-efficient and longer lasting than their competitors.
How to understand this table – look at the lumens (brightness) in the far left column, then compare how many watts of power each light bulb type requires to produce that level of brightness. The lower the wattage needed, the better.
| Lumens (Brightness) | Watts (LED) | Watts (CFL) | Watts (Incandescent) |
| 400 – 500 | 6 – 7W | 8 – 12W | 40W |
| 650 – 850 | 7 – 10W | 13 – 18W | 60W |
| 1000 – 1400 | 12 – 13W | 18 – 22W | 75W |
| 1450-1700+ | 14 – 20W | 23 – 30W | 100W |
| 2700+ | 25 – 28W | 30 – 55W | 150W |
WHAT IS ENERGY EFFICIENT LIGHTING?
Energy efficiency refers to the amount of energy required to provide appropriate light. In conventional bulbs like incandescent, halogen and fluorescent bulbs, most of the electricity is wasted in terms of heat since ballast requires high voltage at the time of starting, resulting in more power consumption. In other words, energy efficient lighting means achieving more illumination from less power by replacing high power consumption products like incandescent, halogen and CFL bulbs with highly energy-efficient LED products.
ENERGY EFFICIENT LIGHTING UPGRADES – WHY IT MATTERS TO YOU?
Because your lighting choice can save you money. Energy efficient lighting upgrade is important because you are getting better illumination for less money. An average household allocates about 5% of its energy budget to lighting. Switching to energy-efficient lighting is one of the fastest ways to cut your energy bills. How? By simply replacing your home’s five most frequently used light bulbs with LEDs, and you can save over $70 per year. For more, here’s an overview of what’s special about energy-efficient LED lights:
- Reach full brightness instantly
- Save you money on power bills
- Use about 80% less energy than halogen or incandescent bulbs
- Use about 30% less energy than CFL bulbs
- Last between 25,000-50,000 hours
- Contain no mercury or lead
- Emit no UV or IR rays
- Operate at a much cooler temperature
- Cut greenhouse gas emissions and reduce landfill

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT LED PRODUCT FOR YOUR HOME?
Wattage: The LED lighting is about reducing wattage usage without losing the light output. For example, a standard halogen downlight uses 50 Watts, we replace it with a 10 Watt LED downlight.
Lumens: Lumen is the standard unit for measuring the amount of light produced by a light source. It is equal to the amount of light hitting one square foot of surface one foot away from the light. Essentially, the higher the lumens, the brighter the light.
Lumens Per Watt: This shows the efficiency of an LED bulb. For example – a 270lm bulb consuming 3 Watts of electricity = 90 lumens per watt. Lumens per watt vary from product to product, depending on the LED chip used and efficiency of the heat sink at minimizing the heat emission.
Beam Angle: The beam angle is essential in LED lighting. This is as important as the lumens. Beam angle indicates the spread of light from the light source. A narrow beam gives a concentrated light which is better for accent lighting. A wide beam gives a more general, softer light perfect for open spaces.
Warm White, Natural White & Cool White: It’s about personal preference whether you want warm white or cool white light in your house. The colour temperature of a product is a linear scale of measuring the colour of light. Measured in degrees, Kelvin, warm light is measured in lower numbers and cool white in higher numbers.
Natural white light is good for kitchen, laundry, and areas that have a warmer climate as the white light helps the room feel cooler. Warm white light creates a more relaxing environment in areas like bedrooms and living rooms.
