1. Working
hours:
LED
lights are built for the long life, so why not use it fullest? LED light should
not be installed at very little usage area. It is your dead investment.
Some
high usage areas are listed here for the reference: Shopping center,
underground parking, streets, offices, hotels and restaurants, warehouse,
tunnel, museum, wash rooms, homes with low natural light access and all the
places where it is cloudy and low sunshine weather for most of the time.
2. Reliability:
LED
lights with good driver can withstand vibration, unreliable power supply,
voltage fluctuation, on/off cycles and where other bulb expires faster. LED
light should be used in factories, industries and rural industries for such
reasons.
There
are also some application areas where it is difficult to reach for bulb
replacement. Changing bulbs at Street light, high floor height, balcony and
domes is costly than the original price of bulb.
At
Some critical places like hospitals, shopping mall, restaurant, airport,
plants, offices and public place, going dark for some hours is not affordable.
They should use LED lights for reliability.
3. Directional light:
LED
lights don’t throw lights in all 3 dimensions. They point the lights toward
single plane. There are some advantage and disadvantage of this property.
Street lights, highbay lights, downlights, flood lights are best uses of this
property. They minimize the waste of reflectors and other directions.
4. Dimming:
Another
good property of LED lights is dimming. You can adjust the amount of
illumination as well as power bill. Consider a small shop where there is rush
of customers during some peak hours. They can dim LED lights during Low rush
hours to save lots of power. All LED lights are not dimmable, but it depends on
driver. Customer should check their requirements and dimming ability before
purchase to take full advantage.
5. Low power& high power:
LED
can provide lowest illumination with minimum power usage as well as highest
illumination too. LED is available for 0.5 watt to 500W applications. It is not
possible for any other bulb types to make only 100 lumens light with 1-2 watt
usage. CFL bulb starts with 5W and incandescent bulb at 15W.
6. Colors:
White
LEDs are available in various color temperature, which is not possible in all
the lightings. RGB color LED can produce millions of color for decorative
requirements. You don’t need color filters to produce different colors. Just
adjust your color with remote control.
7. Recycle:
And
after all long service life when you wish to throw LED lights, they are still
valuable. They have lots of aluminum in their body and heat sinks. If
considering price of metal after 10 years, LED lights have better return on
investment even after failure.
