Benefits of Choosing Domus Line LED The light-emitting diode (LED) is one of today’s most energy-efficient and rapidly-developing lighting technologies. Quality LED light bulbs last longer, are more durable, and offer comparable or better light quality than other types of lighting. Energy Savings LED lights use up to 80% less energy than standard incandescent light bulbs*. With 13% of a typical New Zealand family home power bill spent on lighting # , this can amount to a significant saving over time. Not all LEDs are created equally however, with some using more or less energy to produce the needed light. This efficacy is calculated in lumens per watt (lm/W). Watt indicates the amount of power a bulb uses to provide light, while lumen is the unit to measure the light output of a bulb. Therefore the higher the lm/W, the more efficient the LED and the higher the savings on your energy bill. Long Lifetime LED have a claimed life expectancy of at least 15,000 hours. At an average of 3 hours of usage per day, 365 days a year – this could mean up to 13+ years before you will need to replace your lights. This makes LED lights ideal for hard to reach places, where replacing them can be difficult and/or dangerous. Additionally, LED lights do not suddenly fail, but will slowly lose their brightness over time, and frequent on/off switching does not impact the lifespan of LED lights. Low Heat Output LED lights generate very little heat. This means they can be recessed into furniture or be used to light artwork without damage. They are also safer than traditional lights as they will stay cool to touch even after several hours of usage. Durability LED lights have a robust design, making them far sturdier than traditional light bulbs. Since LEDs don’t use fragile components such as glass and filaments, LEDs are able to withstand shock, vibration and extreme temperature. Instant Light LED lights will work at full output instantaneously – so there is no waiting for a light to warm up or brighten up slowly.
