Still unsure if you should make the switch to LEDs?

We’ve devised an exhaustive list that blows any other resource out of the water, with a list of fifty (yes, fifty!) reasons why you should be using LED Lights over the typical halogen, incandescent or fluorescent bulb. 

So, here we go... 

# 1. They require less energy to power, saving you electricity

# 2. Compared to incandescent bulbs, LED lights will save you around 80% of electrical power

# 3. In comparison with a halogen lamp, there’s a 75% saving on electricity

# 4. They contain no hazardous, liquids or gases, which can be harmful to the environment

# 5. Used as automobile lighting, LEDs have been proven to help reduce the risk of car accidents by 15%

# 6. Because they produce a cold light, LEDs are ideal for growing indoor plants (and have been used to grow plants in Space!)

# 7. But they don’t have to look cold. LED Lights are available in a number of different colours and shades, so you can define the style, setting and ambience you desire

# 8. Unlike high-intensity discharge lights, LEDs are soft on the eyes

# 9. LEDs use direct light so there’s no light pollution

# 10. Used as a temperature indicator, LEDs can help you distinguish between hot and cold water

# 11. LEDs have no UV light, eradicating the possibility of skin damage 

# 12. Used by your local council as street lighting solutions, they vastly improve the visibility on your roads 

# 13. Despite being cold to touch, LEDs offer a “warm” glow, much like their incandescent counterparts

# 14. The globes are easy to install – simply screw on

# 15. They’re easy to uninstall (yes, that’s a separate reason!), and they won’t burn you

# 16. There is no need for excessive maintenance. Once they’re installed, they won’t bother you!

# 17. LEDs have a thick epoxy, which makes them incredibly durable and pretty much impossible to break

# 18. LED Festoon string lights have thicker wires, meaning they’re less likely to get into a knotted mess

# 19. Using LEDs in the great outdoors? They’re completely rust-proof

# 20. LED lights shouldn’t flicker

# 21. LED lights can be dimmed to easily adjust the mood and ambience

# 27. They save you money on your electricity bills

# 28. They can last up to 50,000 hours (that’s a long time), and the technology is improving!

# 29. LEDs last 2400% longer than regular halogen bulbs. In reality, this could be a 40-year difference based on average use

# 30. They can help you build a lightsaber (and who wouldn’t want to do that?)

# 31. LEDs can be installed and utilised both inside and outside of the home with no effect on lighting quality

# 32. LEDs immediately switch on with no warm-up time

# 33. The lights are fully operational in all types of weather conditions

# 34. They contain no harmful environmental pollutants like lead or mercury

# 35. They’re recyclable

# 36. LEDs don’t emit Radio Frequency interference, so they won’t interfere with your radio

# 37. Breakthroughs and innovations in LED technology means the market for LED lighting is constantly evolving, from stadiums to bridges to LED displays

# 38. LEDs can help to save lives - they’re the go-to lighting solution across hospitals and healthcare facilities

# 39. The low-voltage power supply associated with LEDs increases electrical safety 

# 40. They’re lightweight

# 41. They’re much brighter than your traditional lighting solution and will improve visibility

# 42. They’re more flexible, versatile and adaptable than traditional lighting

# 43. Used at Christmas time, LEDs can reduce the risk of fire compared to standard Christmas lights
