There are many different kinds of lighting available: LED, incandescent, and compact fluorescent lighting are common and well-known lighting choices. LED is probably the most recent to have arrived on the scene, while incandescent is the oldest. As with any technology, some people will balk at change and want to keep with the tried and true, like incandescent. Unfortunately for those people, newer technology quite often equates with the word “better” and that is certainly true for LED lights as compared to incandescent.
LED lights are known for being more energy efficient, having more utility rebates available, and having a lower degree of maintenance associated with them. When compared to incandescent, or even compact fluorescent lights, the start up cost is much higher, often deterring first time buyers, as they are often not aware of the savings that can be accrued with these lights. This is compounded by those wishing to purchase LED flood lamps, as such a big light will undoubtedly cost more and someone investing in LED flood lamps is likely the kind of person that is buying multiple lights at a time. This would make the cost even more daunting.
The reason that LED, or light emitting diode, lights save so much money in the long run has to do with how they conduct electricity and how they produce light. Standard incandescent bulbs are the stereotypical light bulbs, made out of a glass case, with a coiled tungsten wire inside. This tungsten wire is what the current flows through, and the energy it releases is the light. Unfortunately, this kind of lighting also releases a lot of its energy as heat, wasting almost ninety percent of it. LED lights are seventy-five percent more efficient than incandescent lights.
LED lights consist of a diode which allows current to flow in only one direction, effectively targeting the energy and light that is released. LED lights also have a semiconductor chip, which controls the color of the light.
Although LEDs were commonly thought to only be present in cell phones and remote controls, they’re becoming more common due to their variance in size, shape, and color – allowing them to be used as LED flood lamps as well! Compact fluorescent bulbs use vapors such as mercury and argon to conduct electricity. When these vapors are excited, they give off ultraviolet light, which is absorbed by the fluorescent coating of the housing of the light and released light in the visible spectrum. Compact fluorescent lights are easily picked out of a crowd by their characteristic spiral shape.
LED lights have much more utility rebates available to them, for the sheer fact that they’re greener than other forms of light. LED flood lamps are easier to use in a huge warehouse or office because they more efficiently use the electricity they’re consuming, releasing a large proportion of it as visible light and wasting very little as heat. This also prevents the air conditioning from having to run all day, to cool a room or building already hot from many working bodies.
