LED Lighting – Akoya by Alora Lighting<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

LED technology has revolutionized the lighting industry and will only continue to improve and evolve. With their compact size, energy efficiency, and low heat output, LEDs are superior, in form and function, to all other sources of lighting.\u00a0\u00a0The versatile, functional, and widely used application of LED technology makes it easy to find the perfect fixture or bulb for your style.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

LEDs Inspire Creativity<\/h2>\n

Thanks to LEDs or Light Emitting\u00a0Diodes, lighting\u00a0design is no longer confined by the bulky shape and size of traditional light bulbs. Because of their small size, LEDs can be integrated seamlessly into fixtures to create sleek lines in\u00a0contemporary and modern<\/a>\u00a0designs.<\/p>\n

Lighting designers use LEDs to create beautiful, functional lighting in unique shapes that would not have been possible with halogen or incandescent light bulbs.<\/p>\n

\n

The Circ collection<\/a> by Design Classics is a perfect example of attractive and modern LED lighting<\/a>. LEDs are integrated directly into the thin rings of the fixture allowing a minimal profile while providing ample illumination. Adjustable hanging wires make the fixture customizable by changing the angle and spacing of each ring. Circ pendants are available in one, two, or three-ring configurations, and come in matte black, satin nickel, and matte white finishes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Low Profile LED Lighting<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Maserlo by Eglo<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

LED lighting<\/a> is made up of tiny diodes, that when electronically energized and joined together\u00a0within a fixture, create a solid, bright, and long-lasting\u00a0source of light. Because of the small size of these light components, LED fixtures can be low profile<\/a> and sleek without degrading the function or quality of the light.<\/p>\n

LEDs Provide Even Illumination<\/h2>\n

LEDs provide even light coverage within a fixture. Fixtures with concealed halogen or incandescent bulbs often have shadows around the bulb creating an uneven or blotchy look.<\/p>\n

Bathroom vanity lighting<\/a> is a great example of this contrast in illumination. Below you will see a vanity light with bulbs followed by a vanity light with LEDs.<\/p>\n

Notice the difference? Not only is this a matter of design and aesthetics, proper bathroom lighting is crucial for shaving, applying makeup, and other parts of your daily routine. With LED Lighting you are able to see better and have a more clear vision of how you will be presenting yourself throughout the day.<\/p>\n

Switch to LED Bulbs<\/h2>\n

Love your existing fixtures but want the benefits of LEDs? You’re in luck! Most fixtures and\u00a0lamps<\/a>\u00a0can be converted to LED by simply replacing the bulb<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Making the Switch from CFL to LED<\/em><\/p>\n

LEDs can be used to replicate the look of conventional<\/a> and\u00a0vintage light bulbs<\/a>\u00a0allowing you to keep your\u00a0current fixtures without missing out on the energy and cost saving advantages of LED lighting.<\/p>\n

LED light bulbs have a higher cost of purchase than their conventional counterparts, however, their savings will grow over time.\u00a0 An average LED light bulb has a lifespan of 25,000 hours while fluorescent bulbs last 8,000 hours, and incandescent bulbs last only 1,200 hours. If you were to change out only your five most often used lights with LED bulbs or fixtures, you could expect to see a savings of $50-$75\/year on your electricity bill, along with eliminating the need and cost of frequent bulb replacement.<\/p>\n

LED Lighting Basics<\/h2>\n

Light output of traditional incandescent and halogen light bulbs is measured in watts, whereas LED lighting output is measured in lumens. Watts actually measure the energy that a light bulb uses. Most of that energy is lost as heat! Lumens are a measure of light output that is produced by a light source. A 60-watt incandescent bulb is equivalent in lumen output to an LED bulb that only uses 9.5 watts of energy.\u00a0 To learn more about lumens, read our Lumen Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

LED Lighting comes in full spectrum of color temperature, from warm amber light to cool blue light. While older LEDs may have appeared harsh and blue\/white in color, current LED\u00a0light bulbs and fixtures are designed to give you comfortable and adequate illumination for any task or space. to learn more about color temperature, check out our Lighting Temperature Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n
