BENEFITS OF LED DOWNLIGHTS

Benefits of LED downlights are energy-efficient, have a long lifespan, are low-maintenance lighting, offer sleek and stylish designs that are easily customizable, and are safe for the environment.

Today, every home and business owner is looking for ways to cut down their energy bills. LED technology provides a long-lasting, effective, and affordable solution for workplace and household use. Although they may be costly upfront, they will help you save lots of energy and money over time. If you are searching for versatile lighting that is perfect for your house or office, LED bulbs are the ideal option.

HERE ARE THE BENEFITS OF LED DOWNLIGHTS:
Long lifespan for LED Downlights
Even though buying LED downlights may seem expensive when compared to traditional bulbs, the savings you will make on your energy and the replacement costs make LEDs more cost-effective. LED downlights are very durable; the bulbs emit light for about 50,000 hours. Some brands may even boast of having bulbs that can withstand 100,000hours of use. This means that if you are using light 8 hours daily, then your LED bulbs should serve you for about 17 years.

LED Downlights ar Energy efficient
In most homes, lighting accounts for about 10% of the total electricity usage, while for commercial premises, it is about 40%. LED downlight bulbs may seem expensive. However, their longevity and energy efficiency compensate for their cost. Unlike incandescent bulbs that use lots of energy, LED bulbs are more energy-efficient. With LED downlight bulbs, you are assured of saving money on your monthly electricity bills.

Environmentally friendly lighting
To protect the planet, you need to save resources. The use of LED downlights helps in saving our planet. These downlights use 75% less energy compared to the usual incandescent lighting bulbs. In addition, they emit less carbon dioxide because they use less energy. Furthermore, they lower your contribution to the landfills because you will not use as many bulbs as incandescent bulbs. Using one LED bulb is equivalent to the using about 25 incandescent bulbs. LED bulbs do not have mercury, they pose no health risks and are easier to clean up in case of breakage.

Sleek and stylish design

If you do not like light fixtures that hang from the ceiling, LED downlight bulbs will definitely appeal to you. They provide a stylish, unobtrusive, and trendy design and they can be installed to look like they are a part of your ceiling instead of being attached to it. There are many designs that you can pick from to suit your needs. As a result, it is easier for everyone to find LED bulbs that appeal to their tastes and complements the existing décor in the room.

Low maintenance lighting

With LEDs, you will not have to keep changing your bulbs every few months. These lighting bulbs have reduced the effort and time needed to maintain your lighting in the home or office. LED bulbs provide a practical lighting solution. They last for years and cost you less hassle and time than bulbs that require frequent replacement.

LED downlights are usually installed into ceiling tiles as part of the interior architecture. They add a stunning, stylish, and sleek touch to interior design and offer flexibility in many ways with their uniform and soft lighting. In addition, they come in many customizable options and this gives interior designers adequate freedom to choose those that suit the existing décor. Just like LED strip lights, LED downlights are a smarter investment for any homeowner or businessowner.

We also supply a large variety of Optic fibre cables through Optic Fibre Lighting Solutions, which can be used for end emitting (end glow), side emitting or (side glow), side sparkle for decorative effect fibre optic lighting applications and last but not least bare fibre which is used for star ceilings.

Here are our top ten things to consider before you buy LED downlights
This article is part of our series helping you understand what distinguishes quality from poor products and what questions to ask before buying water saving and energy saving products.

1 Location
You should consider the location of the light to help you select the power (W) and whether you need special features.

For example, a high ceiling will require a higher power lamp which produces more light. Also, a downlight in a bathroom should be rated a minimum of IP44. IP stands for ‘ingress protection’ and the 2 digit number indicates the degree of protection against water ingress. IP67 would indicate total immersion protection. Clearly in a bathroom with lots of airborne moisture this is an important consideration.

Another interior downlighting rule is ‘leave a gap of 3 feet between the edge of the ceiling and your downlights’. Position them too close to the wall and you’ll get shadows which can actually make a room look smaller than it is. Of course, rules were made to be broken and you may intentionally want to create a more dramatic effect by breaking this one!

If you are unsure about your specific requirements, contact us on 0978511766 and our experts will be happy to assist.

2 Domestic/commercial?
If you are specifying for a public building or for a company, you may need to look into any building regulations applicable before you select a downlight.

Home users will not usually need to worry about regulations. However, we recommend tenants consult with their landlord first and understand their responsibilities.

3 Cut-out size
Cut-out size is the size of the hole needed in the ceiling; this is regularly different to the advertised diameter.

Our website explicitly states the cut-out size. We find this is helpful for our customers who come to us wanting to fit a downlight to a hole they already have cut into the ceiling.



4 Compliance
This is especially relevant to commercial use, but home users can be reassured by purchasing products which comply with additional safety regulations.

We state whether the downlights we sell are fire rated, that is, it doesn’t create a weak point in the ceiling for fire to break through, and whether they are IP rated. These will help you pick a product which adheres to your company safety policies.

5 Savings
If you are interested in the savings made possible by converting to LED, you should check the wattage of your current lighting and compare this to the LED you are interested in.

In particular, when compared to halogen downlights, LED downlights will ramp up significant savings.

Of course, many directional halogen bulb types have now been banned by the EU for energy-efficiency reasons so it pays to buy a good quality product that will last and give best light.

If you are looking at a larger project, Save Money Cut Carbon offer a bespoke modelling service which will outline your potential savings and include data on return on investment and payback time.

Alternatively, if yours is only a small project you can roughly work out how much you can save by seeing how much power (W) your current lighting uses, and comparing that to how much power a corresponding LED uses. Consult our experts if you would like further advice on how to calculate your savings. Also, for more information on how LED can save you money.

6 Electrician/labour cost
When you consider the costs involved you should include a quote for an electrician to professionally install the light.

LED downlights require wiring and this should be done by a trained professional. Get a few quotes from trusted tradespeople and consider these costs in your total expenditure before buying.



7 Life
A great advantage of LED is the very long lifetime of the lamp. Downlights are a pain to replace as swapping them can damage the ceiling and replacements should be fitted by a trained electrician which adds cost.

With a running life of 30,000+ hours, LED downlights are far superior to both halogen (1000 hours) and CFL (8000 hours) downlights. That means significantly reduced maintenance costs.

8 Dimming
If you would like to dim your downlights be sure to select one which is marked dimmable: not all LED lights are dimmable.

We also recommend you consult with us about how you wish to dim your lights and with what equipment. More information can be found in our LED Dimming Guide series.

9 Colour temperature
Picking the right colour temperature is a very personal decision as it helps set the atmosphere of a room. Simply, the colour temperature is the how the colour the light from the lamp looks.

See our LED Jargon Buster for more information on colour temperature before choosing.



10 Colour rendering
Colour rendering will be of heightened importance in some scenarios. Colour rendering describes how faithful to under sunlight an object’s colour appears in artificial light.
