10 Things Everyone Needs To Know About LED Lighting
- LED Lighting Is Simple – All LED lighting is made of 3 simple components: drivers, LED chips, and fixture housings.
- Not All LEDs Are Created Equal – While the basic components are the same, the quality of these components varies widely and name brand components are often faked. If a price seems too good to be true, it probably is.
- Rebates Can Help Fund Your LED Projects – Almost all utility providers have commercial and residential energy efficiency programs that include rebates for installing LED Lighting.
- LED Does Not Have To Break The Bank – When LED first came out, it was very expensive, but prices have dropped significantly as the technology has advanced. Now most projects pay for themselves in utility bill savings within 2 years!
- LED Lighting Saves Big $$ – Most facility and homeowners don’t realize LED can cut the lighting portion of your electric bill by 70% or more. That puts $$ back in your pockets!
- LED Lighting is Flicker-Free – Did you know that most light sources flicker? This causes eye strain and headaches and can reduce productivity. High-quality LEDs are flicker-free.
- The Supply Chain Is Terrible – Most LEDs you buy on shelves today pass through 5-6 companies that each make a markup before they get to you. With Brilled you can buy factory-direct.
- LED Comes In All Colors – It’s a common misconception that LED only comes in bright white. LED can come in a variety of color temperatures from yellow to bright white as well as RGB colors.
- LED Turns On Instantly – There’s no warm-up period required with LED so you can stop turning your metal halide lamps on 15 minutes early and enjoy instant on and off functionality.
- You Can Control It From Your Phone – LED being so simple has created an opportunity for advanced controls allowing you to control your entire facility or home lighting from your smart phone. Just ask for onboard controls.
