LED Lighting


The light-emitting diode (LED) is today's most energy-efficient and rapidly developing lighting technology. Quality LED light bulbs last longer, are more durable, and offer comparable or better light quality than other types of lighting.

Energy Savings

LED is a highly energy-efficient lighting technology, and has the potential to fundamentally change the future of lighting in the United States.  Residential LEDs -- especially ENERGY STAR rated products -- use at least 75% less energy, and last up to 25 times longer, than incandescent lighting.

Widespread use of LED lighting has a large potential impact on energy savings in the United States. By 2035, the majority of lighting installations are anticipated to use LED technology, and energy savings from LED lighting could top 569 TWh annually by 2035, equal to the annual energy output of more than 92 1,000 MW power plants.

Product Description

How LEDs are Different

LED lighting is very different from other lighting types such as incandescent and CFL. Key differences include:

  • Light Source: LEDs are the size of a fleck of pepper, and can emit light in a range of colors. A mix of red, green, and blue LEDs is sometimes used to make white light.
  • Direction: LEDs emit light in a specific direction, reducing the need for reflectors and diffusers that can trap light. This feature makes LEDs more efficient for many uses such as recessed downlights and task lighting. With other types of lighting, the light must be reflected to the desired direction and more than half of the light may never leave the fixture.
  • Heat: LEDs emit very little heat. In comparison, incandescent bulbs release 90% of their energy as heat and CFLs release about 80% of their energy as heat.
  • Lifetime: LED lighting products typically last much longer than other lighting types.  A good quality LED bulb can last 3 to 5 times longer than a CFL and 30 times longer than an incandescent bulb.

LED Products

LED lighting is available in a wide variety of home and industrial products, and the list is growing every year. The rapid development of LED technology has resulted in increased product availability, improved manufacturing efficiency, and lower prices. Below are some of the most common types of LED products.

 

Industrial and Commercial Lighting

The high efficiency and directional nature of LEDs makes them ideal for many industrial uses. LEDs are increasingly common in street lights, parking garage lighting, walkway and other outdoor area lighting, refrigerated case lighting, modular lighting, and task lighting.

 

Questions & Answers

LED (Light Emitting Diode) lighting is one of the most energy-efficient and rapidly advancing lighting technologies available today. LEDs use a semiconductor to emit light and are significantly more efficient and longer-lasting than traditional lighting options.

LEDs use up to 75% less energy and last up to 25 times longer than incandescent bulbs. They also produce better quality light and are more environmentally friendly.

Yes, LED lighting is available in a wide range of products suitable for both home and industrial/commercial applications

Residential LEDs, especially ENERGY STAR-rated ones, use at least 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs. Nationwide, widespread LED adoption could save up to 569 TWh annually by 2035.

LEDs differ in size, directionality, efficiency, and heat output. They emit light directionally (reducing wasted light), generate very little heat, and are far more durable and long-lasting than CFL or incandescent bulbs.

Yes, their high efficiency, long life, and resistance to extreme temperatures make LEDs perfect for industrial and outdoor applications like street lighting, parking lots, and task lighting.
