LED strip lights have many advantages over traditional lighting systems such as halogen, fluorescent and incandescent. Some of these advantages are related directly to LED technology itself while other advantages are uniquely associated with LED strip lights. In the current age of power conservation this type of lighting is affordable and presents its very own unique styles of variety along with flexibility in use.

For starters LED strip lights, just like all LED technology, utilize far less electricity than its counterparts. A typical meter long strip of these lights uses about 7 watts of power which makes them around ninety percent more efficient than other lighting. If you ever wanted to create your own unique lighting design these lights are available in a wide range of colors allowing your inner creativity to come out.

Not to be outdone they are also available in cool and warm white to help create that special soft ambiance.

Perhaps one of the most unique features of LED strip lighting is their flexibility.  Literally flexible, many of these strips are manufactured out of a flexible circuit board that can conform to just about any shape. They can be bent at a 90 degree angle or mounted on the backside of a stair railing to create a unique but subtle lighting effect. This flexibility also allows them to be mounted in areas where most traditional lighting dare not go. Some examples of this include: in bookcases, under kitchen cabinets, in closets and other places where traditional fixtures are not welcome.

From a safety standpoint LED strip lights create far less heat than most lighting making them safer and less apt to be the cause of a fire incident. Today homeowners are looking to conserve energy in as many areas as possible and home lighting is no exception. LED strip lights can help reduce the cost of lighting in many homes. They provide quality illumination that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing.

Studies have been conducted that show that LED lighting has shown an improvement in the moods of certain individuals who suffer from seasonal affective disorder or SAD. Cool white led strip lights have been proven to increase the happiness and comfort of employees in the workplace. So along with all the other benefits this lighting scheme can also help to elevate your mood. Give your home an inexpensive but much need “light lift” by incorporating some LED strip lights and see and feel the difference for yourself.
