There are numerous benefits of LED lighting!

• Savings – LED lighting might have a higher upfront cost but it can make up for that in energy savings. According to the Department of Energy, LEDs use up at least 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs.

• They Last Longer – In addition to being energy-efficient they are more durable. LED lights can last 25 times longer than standard incandescent lights.

• Safer – Incandescent lights can give off heat which can be dangerous. LED lights are a lot safer because they don’t give off heat and don’t risk burning your fingers or even other materials.

• Different Types of LED Lights – There are a multitude of LED lights on the market! You can find them being used as recessed lights, commercial and industrial lights and even holiday lights. The latter are also more durable as they are made of epoxy lenses instead of glass and can last you up to 40 holiday seasons!

• Instant Lighting – Other types of bulbs such as CFLs take longer to heat up whereas LED lights provide instant bright lighting.

• More Affordable Now – While they are a little costlier than incandescent bulbs, LED lights are becoming a lot more affordable as their prices are decreasing every year.

• Flickering Lights

If you are dealing with flickering lights, there are a few possible reasons. Best case scenario your bulb is loose, or you have an old switch. However, if you find that the lights are flickering when you turn on major appliances, you might be dealing with faulty wiring.

• Repeatedly Tripping Circuit Breakers

Your circuit breaker tripping might not be a big problem and you can always reset it. However, if you find it is repeatedly tripping, you might be dealing with an overloaded circuit, an old electrical system or a short circuit.

• No GFCIs

Many homeowners don’t use ground fault circuit interrupters, which puts them at a high risk for electrocution. If you have experienced even minor electrical shocks, consider having an electrician install a GFCI in your home.

• High Electricity Bill

Do you have a high electric bill no matter how hard you try to be more energy-efficient? You might have a leakage in your electrical system, damaged wiring or outdated electrical devices using up more power.
