LEDs are powerful. If you consider that a candle light's output is roughly 13 lumens and the standard LED array is substantially more powerful; that's quite impressive. One LED is about 1/8 inches squared, which means that it outproduces even the brightest of market-ready light sources. RecPro's Under Cabinet LED with Light Switch has 12 LEDs packed into an area of less than 3 1/2". That's as bright (if not brighter) than a 100-Watt lightbulb.
There are many more advantages to purchasing and installing LED lights as well:
- Unlike standard bulbs, LEDs do not produce as much heat.
- There are no filaments to crack. If you've ever dropped a lightbulb and heard that unmistakable "tink" sound of a filament breaking, you know how delicate they can be.
- Durability is greater with LEDs.
- Compact construction means you can fit a more considerable amount of light into smaller spaces.
- LEDs can be used in multiple applications where other bulkier bulbs either couldn't fit their models or it just isn't cost-effective to pay for specialty lighting.
- Surface mount LEDs can be applied to multiple materials and locations.
- There is a much lower electricity usage from LEDs than standard bulbs.
There are many obvious positive uses and advantages of an LED array over standard lightbulbs. They look better, save on electricity, and produce more light in a focused area. Look at our wide selection of LED lights and make the wise decision to switch to a better source of lighting. Then, when someone asks, "Whose bright idea was it to buy these LEDs?" You can say, "Mine."
