1. LED lights are super energy efficient. This is probably the single biggest advantage that LED lighting offers, over the old incandescent and halogen type lighting. LED lamps use up to 90% LESS energy compared to those!

2. LED lights last longer than the traditional incandescent and halogen lamps. Their typical life expectancy is over 25 000 hours. If you  consider that an LED lamp may, on average, be used in a home for around 5 hours a day, then those lamps would last almost 14 years. Obviously, LED globes that are used in outdoor and security applications would be switched on for longer periods (all night) but even then, the life expectancy could be over 7 years.

3. Because LED lights use considerably less electricity and run on DC (direct current) power, it makes them the ideal option for use in solar powered lighting, the sometimes only choice you may have, for getting light to areas where there is no 230volt mains power. Take a closer look at these solar powered flood lights which are ideal for use anywhere you do not have mains power, or where it may be difficult to run power cables.

4. LED lights are safer to use as they seldom make use of glass anywhere on the lamps. Old fluorescent tubes are now replaced with LED tubes which are usually manufactured from plastic. LED lights do not contain any dangerous mercury and are, for the most part, pretty resilient, being able to handle vibration and certain levels of impact.

5. LED lighting is more robust than the old lamps and can better handle the power surging & power outages we experience.

6. As technology develops, more LED lamps are being manufactured to look almost the same as the old incandescent ones. LED lighting is being used in some very decorative lamps which are great for use in environments where a warm atmosphere needs to be created. These decorative LED lamps are perfect for  use in home and restaurants alike.

7. LED lighting has become so technically advanced, that many colour options are now available. The LED modules themselves are manufactured in predominantly warm white, cool white, natural white and daylight colour rendering, but they can also be supplied in red, blue, green, pink, yellow and even colour-changing! This makes it very easy to cater to specific light colours for any special project like landscaping, wall-washing and mood-setting.
