There is a constant debate about what is the best light source to be used in a new building and what would still be modern, useful and efficient 20 years from now. The only light source that could possibly be around 20 years from now is LED lighting.
With a lifespan of more than 50000 hours or even 200000 hours in some models, LEDs are currently being adopted by more and more builders and architects. The impressive lifespan is not the only ace under the sleeve. This technology is able to reduce energy consumption by up to 80%. It uses 30% less energy than induction lighting and 90% less energy than old tungsten bulbs while offering clear, focused and very powerful light.

The owner of a building that is equipped with LED lighting will be able to save money due to the amazing capabilities of this technology. Not only that the energy consumption will be greatly decreased, but the cost of HVAC will be consistently reduced. LEDs do not emit heat so the HVAC system has to work less to maintain a constant room temperature which leads to even lower energy consumption overall.

This technology is also incredibly safe. It is ROHS compliant and does not contain any hazardous materials like mercury and does not emit carbon dioxide. It does not even emit UV radiations which have been proven to have quite a negative effect on health and which attract unwanted insects.

Used in various military and extreme applications, LED lighting is very resistant to shocks, hits, vibrations and even temperature variations. Moreover, it does not emit any sound and the light is steady as the constant flickering found in neon lights is not present. These light sources are also instant on or off and even after more than 100000 of operation they maintain 70% of their power.

Easy to install these kind of lights come in different sizes and shapes and in different colors. They eliminate the need for ballasts and they are almost 98% recyclable, which makes them environmentally friendly. Because they need so much less energy that any of the available counterparts and because they almost do not need any maintenance, LED light sources are probably the most economical light sources that can be bought and installed right now and will probably still be the same in the next 20 years or more.
