LED stands for Light Emitting Diode, but what makes this a great thing to switch to when it comes to lighting in your home or in your business? Due to costs, switching to LEDs is often overlooked as an option. However, there are many reasons why making the switch turns out to be cost-efficient. Many people know that LED bulbs last longer and take less energy while in use.
7 Reasons You Should Use LED Lighting
While working at your desk or reading a book at home, you may hear a faint humming sound. This sound is most likely coming from the light bulb you’re using. That sound is also eliminated when using LED bulbs. You’ll find that LED bulbs produce light, not sound or any mixture of the two.
Focus
LED lights can be focused in many different ways. This shows up and is mostly used in businesses that have shelves full of products. You will also see this in museums and art exhibits. You can use this at home as well to draw visitors’ attention to family photos or art pieces hanging on the walls.

Dimming Not Losing
When dimming bulbs from the past, you may notice a difference in the color of light or the hue. Using LED bulbs in fixtures with dimmers is very effective. You won’t lose the color or hue from the light. Instead, it will just dim as you intend.
Fires
Older bulbs use up more energy, and even worse, not all of that energy is used to create light. Most older bulbs will emit heat, causing the danger of fire or burnt hands. LED bulbs use only the energy they need and only to create light. This means they won’t get hot and reduce the risk of fires or injuries.

Inside/Outside
LED lights can be used just about anywhere, even underwater. Many people have found that making the switch to LEDs for holiday decor or accent lighting has proven to be very efficient. Dropping the costs of having the craziest, most beautiful house during the holidays.
Mercury
LED bulbs have fewer ingredients than older bulbs. One of those absent ingredients is Mercury. The absence of Mercury allows LED bulbs to be less harmful to the environment.
