If you have an interest in LED lights, you probably already know their basic benefits.  By comparing them with other types of lighting, they consume much less electricity, last longer and are cooler to the touch. But the benefits of LED lightning don't end there.

Here are five lesser known advantages of LED lights you probably didn’t know:

LED Lights can take a hit!  All other light bulbs, by dropping them on the floor or hitting them with a hockey stick become useless and usually the result is shattered glass everywhere. But LED’s are different. They can take a hit and keep on ticking!  Since they are not made of glass, they are much more durable than traditional gas filled bulbs. Even if they are impacted or damaged, unless the damage is severe, they may be able to be repaired. Contact your supplier for details on reparable LED products.

They won't leave you in the dark. Unlike traditional light bulbs, LEDs don't suddenly go dark. Instead, after their estimated lifetime, they begin to fade, slowly losing brightness, thus allowing you to schedule their replacement well before they completely fade out.

They never Flicker. LEDs use Direct Current (DC) instead of Alternating Current (AC). most of LED bulbs include an internal electronic driver to convert AC power into DC, thus allowing for a constant non-flicker current.

They come in different color temperatures. Do you prefer daylight to subtle yellow light? How about bright white with a bluish tint? The choice is yours when selecting LED lights. Paying close attention to lighting color is important as it can directly affect mood and alertness. Additionally the color plays an important aesthetic role in interior design. Make sure you pay close attention to color temperature when you are selecting an LED bulb. The Illumination experts at LEDRadiant can assist you in your search for the perfect LED bulb for your needs.

They don't waste light. LED Chips are unidirectional and distributed in various locations on the bulb fixture. For ceiling lighting, this means that all the light is directed toward the open space and no light is directed towards the ceiling. These ceiling bulbs give a 180 degree sphere of light instead of the traditional 360 degree spheres that require a reflector.

LEDRadiant is among the leaders in the forefront of LED technology. The single most important thing that separates LEDRadiant from other LED companies or big box department stores that sell LED lighting is technology. LEDRadiant does not maintain large quantities of stock so that all items available continue to maintain the latest in technology and highest efficiency available.

What this means for the consumer is that LEDRadiant bulbs continually provide the highest lumens per watt ratio and last up to 4 times longer than department store LED bulbs.

One of the best-selling department store bulbs is a 10 watt LED (60 watt replacement). This bulb is sold at numerous big box department stores and produces 800 lumens of light. In comparison, LEDRadiant’s newest 8 watt bulbs will replace a 100 watt incandescent bulb by producing 1040 lumens. In other words, LEDRadiant’s bulb uses 20 percent less electric and produces 30 percent more light. While it's true that simply replacing one bulb will not have a huge impact on electric costs, the savings realized by replacing many bulbs can be very significant.

At the higher end, LEDRadiant’s 22 watt LED Corn Bulb can replace a 200 watt incandescent. For businesses with large numbers of 200 watt incandescent bulbs, the savings can be remarkable. Beyond just the obvious savings of reduction in wattage use, LED bulbs are much cooler than incandescent or HPS bulbs. There is little to no impact on air conditioning costs because LED bulbs emit very little heat.

New and more efficient bulbs come to the market about every 4 to 6 months. When these new products become available to LEDRadiant, their existing stock is moved to the clearance section. While LEDRadiant’s clearance section may have LED bulbs from last year's technology, discount department stores typically sell LED bulbs from technology approximately 5 years old.

Although the price of LED bulbs from five-year-old technology is lower than current technology, the operating cost is higher. In addition to the watt usage comparison mentioned previously, the newer technology also provides for a lifespan more than triple than the life span of department store LED bulbs.

One of the most often overlooked features of the new generation of LED lighting products is durability. Unless these bulbs endure significant and strong impacts, they do not break or stop working. For example, an exposed LED bulb will not break or crack when falling a short distance or even when being banged by another object. Incandescent, fluorescent, and HPS bulbs are extremely fragile and often break or crack before their useful life is over. LEDRadiant products are manufactured under extremely stringent technology allowing moderate impact and shock without damage.

When you shop at LEDRadiant, you are buying the latest generation of LED technology. Simply put, LEDRadiant’s LED bulbs are always the most efficient, longest lasting and most durable lighting products available.
