There are quite a few options in the market for lighting your office or home. There are incandescent lights, halogen, CFLs and LEDs. LEDs (light emitting diodes) have become the first choice for offices, manufacturing plants, residential complexes, and commercial establishments today. They provide higher efficiency, lower costs, wider options, and can come with smart technology.
If you are planning to switch to LED light fittings at your office or home, and aren’t sure about the benefits, here is a quick look at why you should switch to LED light fittings.
1. Energy consumption
Energy consumed by an LED light, compared to an incandescent bulb or CFL light, for the same degree of brightness is significantly lower. Just for comparison:
Incandescent bulb | LED light | CFL Light | Lumens |
40W | 6-7W | 8-12W | 400-500 |
60W | 7-10W | 13-18W | 650-850 |
75W | 12-13W | 18-22W | 1000-1400 |
100W | 14-20W | 23-30W | 1450-1700 |
150W | 25-28W | 30-55W | 2700+ |
It is clear that LEDs provide the same brightness with much lower power consumption.
2. Costs
By cutting down your overall energy consumption, your energy costs can be brought down drastically. These light fixtures may be a little more costly than incandescent lighting, but in the long run you can save a lot on your energy bill. Whether it is a residential, commercial, or industrial property, a switch to LED lighting reduces costs and improves productivity.

3. Heat
Unlike incandescent bulbs and fittings, LED fixtures can withstand higher temperatures and emit less heat. This allows for better lighting in extreme production or clinical environments.
It’s lower heat emissions allow for a wider range of uses in the office and at home.
4. Durability
These fixtures are more durable and compact compared to incandescent or CFL light fixtures. They provide higher quality lighting, last longer and don’t get damaged easily. Most LED light fixtures last 45-55,000 hours.
5. Maintenance
Because the energy consumption is lower and lighting is more effective, these light fixtures require little to no maintenance. This helps cut costs on service and repairs.
6. Environment friendly
Switching to LED light fixtures can significantly reduce your carbon footprint. They last longer, which means fewer change cycles, less packaging, less shipping and disposal. They do not contain mercury like CFLs and fluorescent lighting fixtures do; this helps reduce toxic waste when disposed of.
7. Fewer fixtures
Not only do LEDs provide the right brightness with lower energy consumption, they provide better brightness quality and the light source can be directed at angles for varied requirements.
8. Correlated Color Temperature (CCT)
There are a range of options when it comes to LED light fixtures. With options across the Kelvin color temperature chart, you can set the kind of customized lighting you want for your commercial establishment, office, or home.
9. Design
Since these light fixtures are compact and durable, there is a wider range of designs for various applications for offices, hospitals, manufacturing plants, homes, and commercial properties.
