For What Reason LED Bulbs Are Becoming So Popular

Nowadays the focus is on developing energy efficient devices that are environment friendly. We can definitely no longer manage to play wrong with nature. We are presently experiencing the bad effects of global warming caused because of the excessive carbon emissions in the atmosphere. Always keeping this in mind, LED light bulbs have been introduced and they are fast substituting incandescent bulbs and compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs). LED light bulbs use only a fraction of the energy used by the incandescent and compact fluorescent bulbs. Hence, it's a green option for illuminating areas. A 12v LED light bulb is as powerful as a 40W incandescent bulb however uses just 2W of power. Which means that these sorts of bulbs use only 5 to 10 percent of electricity consumed by the traditional bulbs.

In the beginning, LEDs were used only for indicator lights in electronic devices but now they're being utilized for lighting purposes too. A light emitting diode bulb consists of several LED light bulbs clustered together. They release light in ultraviolet, visible, and infrared wavelength. The colour of the light is based on the doping material of the semiconductor.

Not merely these bulbs are energy efficient however they also last for a longer time. They have a life of 7 to 10 years depending upon their usage. A 12v LED light bulb when used merely for 8 hours per day can work for up to 10 years. Though many people get rid of the idea of buying these bulbs due to their high price, they turn out to be an inexpensive option for lighting in the long run. They actually have five times longer life than compact fluorescent lamps, which usually last for only 2 years. Additionally, by using these bulbs in your own home, you can reduce your electricity bills by about 15 to 25 percent. They do not merely reduce the cost of lighting however also the cost of air-conditioning. All these bulbs do not emit excessive heat as incandescent bulbs do. For this reason, unlike traditional bulbs they do not heat up the room, which eventually lessens the burden on the air-conditioning system.

LED light bulbs are mercury free and therefore do not harm the environment and the health of the occupants. Even, they just do not flicker. The shocks and vibrations do not easily damage them as they don't have any filament. They are available in a wide selection of wattages. The most largely used ones are the 12v LED light bulbs that give illumination equivalent to a 40 or 60 Watt incandescent bulb based upon its specifications. You can get LED floodlights, dimmers, bi-pin lights, flashlights, globes, and so on in different colors. LED light bulbs do not require filters for producing lights of different colors. Companies make LED light bulbs that release light of different colors by using various semiconductor materials. In addition they score over incandescent bulbs in terms of luminous efficiency. Whereas the efficiency of a LED light bulb is 55 lumens each Watt, that of an incandescent bulb is merely 15 lumens per Watt.

While everybody is aiming to reduce their carbon footprints, such bulbs have come as a boon. The companies are finding ways to bring down the manufacturing price of these bulbs so that they can be made accessible to the masses at affordable prices.
