Introduction
Light bulbs are essential in homes. Each room should have its own source of light and installing a light fixture is usually done by many homeowners. However, light bulbs can take a bulk of the electric bill, so what can we do to alleviate this? That’s where LED lights come in – they provide a newer and more efficient way of providing light at a more affordable price.
What is LED Lighting?
Introduction
Light fixtures take a significant role in every home. Every room in the house requires a source of light and a light fixture is a common choice for many homeowners. But since it takes up a huge amount of electricity, there has to be another way to provide light that’s more efficient and cost-effective. That’s where LED lighting comes in as it provides lighting with going green.
They’re a Lot Brighter
In lighting, lumens are the measure of the total output. Lumens per watt (lm/w) is the common metric to define efficiency, but the less used lumens per dollar (lm/$) is a key metric to define value. We have provided the breakdown below for a fixture line, to illustrate that lm/w and lm/$ are not parallel in some cases. As the output of high bays increases, the lm/w does not go up or down, but in this case the lw/$ increases with the higher output fixtures.
As an increasing number of Americans and people around the world look for cost-effective solutions for sustainability in their lives and businesses, GREENandSAVE is pleased to introduce our members and site visitors to new books that have actionable intelligence.
