Light emitting diode (LED) lights are an increasingly popular option for home lighting. Long-lasting and energy-efficient, LED lights are cost-effective. They also do not lose energy in the form of heat, which makes them less hazardous in terms of fire safety. Viro’s smart lighting products can be controlled via a smartphone app or home assistant (such as Amazon Alexa or Google Home) and can be scheduled to turn on and off at specified times.

Here are seven benefits of LED lighting.

1. Energy Efficiency

According to the United States Department of Energy, residential lighting with LED light bulbs are up to 75% more efficient than conventional light bulbs. This makes LED lighting a smart choice for cost-conscious consumers.

2. Long Lifespan

The US Department of Energy writes that LED lighting products can last 30 times longer than their incandescent counterparts, and three to five times longer than a compact fluorescent lamp. Viro’s durable smart lighting features a replaceable bulb so that, when you do need to change the LED bulb, you can do so easily.

3. Design Flexibility

LEDs are much smaller than conventional lights – about 3/8s of an inch, compared to a conventional light bulb, which measures about 1 inch in diameter at its base. The smaller size of LED bulbs makes them ideal for decorative lighting purposes without the hindrance of a large conventional bulb which can heat up and cause problems. Freed from the limitations of conventional bulbs, architects and designers can create new, better lighting solutions to fit the local ambiance. Viro’s LED light fixtures are small and allow for beautiful, streamlined lighting designs to illuminate your home.

4. Smart Capabilities

LED lights are often used in smart lighting. For example, at Viro, our LED light fixtures can respond to smart commands such as dimming, scheduling, and color temperature changes.

5. Durability

Because they are so long-lasting, LED lights require very little maintenance. This makes them a more durable option compared to conventional lighting solutions. Resistant to weather, vibrations, shock, and impacts from outside objects, LED lights are less susceptible to damage.

6. Quality of Color

LED lighting provides high-quality lighting that can boost your home’s ambiance, amplifying the existing décor. This is because LED lighting has a high color rendering index (CRI), which measures a light’s ability to show the actual color of an object.

7. Low Heat

Because they are so energy efficient, LED bulbs also do not emit much heat as conventional bulbs do, so they are cool to the touch. They are therefore less hazardous in terms of fire safety. This makes LED bulbs a versatile, cost-effective choice for lighting.
