Why are more and more people changing to LED lighting?
There are several reasons to replace your existing lighting with LED's. The primary reason for most people is to SAVE MONEY on BOTH electricity and bulb replacement costs. LED lighting uses far less electricity, while producing an equivalent light output to your current lighting and in some cases you can reduce electricity costs by up to 90%, plus make savings on the cost of replacement bulbs due to the much longer lifespan of the LED’s (up to 50,000 hours).
