LED Spot Lamp For Trees, Wall Lights, And Accent Lights
LED spot lights are gaining acceptance in a wide variety of venues where thus far, incandescent, halogen, or fluorescent lights ruled. LED spot lighting is increasingly used in security applications, for Professional Photography, for bicycle lighting, for illumination in garages, for automotive lights. They are wonderful as landscape lights, such as for illuminating trees to make them stand out. If you are considering to change to LED spot lights in your business, or for your home lighting and decoration needs, then in this section we will go over three important points about LED spot lights. First, we will talk about the general advantages of using solid state LED light. Next we will look into some of the best features specifically of outdoor LED spot lights. Finally, we will present the multiple types of outdoor LED spot lighting.
After you are done reading you should have a better overall idea whether you should be using solid state LED technology in your home or business, and what type will work best for you.
General reasons why the world is using more solid state LED lighting
General public is becoming more and more aware of the top advantages of LED lighting. There are several top advantages:
Energy savings with LED technology: Because LEDs are a solid state technology, they will arguably long term be the most energy efficient choice of visible light production. The main point being that, solid state technology allows for the most direct transfer of electric energy into light, while at the same time being quite wavelength selective. Which brings us to the next point, color selection.
LED spot lights color selection: Unlike incandescent lights which have a broad color spectrum of light radiation, or fluorescent lights which depend on the UV light generation within the fluorescent light gas, small changes in semiconductor material choices are able to change the color and breadth of the color spectrum. Thus, the high flexibility in picking LED colors. This is still an area of intensive materials research. Indeed, as little as 15 years ago, blue LED lights were not even widely available, and their mass production enabled the current widespread adoption of LED lighting most everywhere.
Safety of LED lighting: As any electrical equipment, there of course are safety concerns with LED spot lights. In particular due to their higher power, the electric wiring must be properly handled, and the bulbs themselves must have a heat sink to prevent overheating. Overall, however, due to their super high efficiency, LED lights are much safer than incandescent, and, unlike the fluorescent lights, do not contain toxic elements which leak when the light is broken, and do not ever produce any UV light unless designed to.
More specific advantages of LED spot lights
Depending on their application, there are additional LED spot light advantages:
LED spot lights turn on instantly: Unlike fluorescent lighting which can take up to 2 minutes to warm up to full brightness, with the LED spot lights here are no warm-up periods therefore, the lights come on instantly. This is crucial in security applications such as for motion detection lights, or for security camera lights. It is also important in most other applications due to users expecting the lights to turn on instantly, just like the incandescent lights.
LED spot lights are easily made waterproof: Due to the long life of LED lights, often, LED lights are permanently affixed into the light fixture, making it as waterproof as needed.
TCO of LED spot lights: Based on their high efficiency, low losses to heating, long lifetime, and low safety risks, the TCO (Total Cost Of Ownership) for LED spot lights is significantly lower than any competitive light source. There are savings on frequent replacement of the LED bulbs, on monthly electricity bill, possibly even on insurance costs.
Governmental support: Even the governments in the US and elsewhere are catching on, and are coming up with restriction on using of older, more energy wasteful light sources. This may not be a direct help but it is good to know the governments are on your side, and at least do not provide any dis-incentives for LED lighting.
