With the ban on the sale of incandescent bulbs, which took place from the beginning of July, the demand for LED to grow, mainly due to savings generated. Specialists say that lighting projects generated savings can reach 70% when compared to use of other types of lamps. What puts the LED as a major trend in decoration, due to the economic times.

But manufacturers say that, before making the exchange of lamps at home, you need to know some LED characteristics. Contrary to what many people think, there is only white LED. There are in various tones associated with the lamp format, can give a more warm air to the various environments.

The most common and versatile applications can be in candle shape lamps, mini ball shape, globe shape, and led tapes replacing conventional reflector light bulbs, still remembering that the products can be installed as usual on the ceiling or on the ceiling, but also walls, stairs, woodwork, indoors or outdoors.

In addition to the versatility and economy possible, LED lamps have enough life and require little maintenance. Resistant to shock and vibration, the need for change is, on average, after 50,000 hours of use, according to the Unicamp Lighting Laboratory. That is, its durability is long.

For motion sensors that trigger the lamp ignition key, the LED is also more indicato. According to manufacturers, as its instant activation even at low temperatures and the effect of switching on and off does not deteriorate its useful life compared to incandescent and halogen lamps.

The models are very close LED efficiency of fluorescent emission and allow adjustments that make the intensity and color more vivid and saturated light. Such technology has already put on the market even lamps in blue, green, yellow and red.

13 THINGS YOU KNOW ABOUT LED PRECIA

1. Contrary to what happens with the electronic lamps, the LED does not have its life reduced by switching on and off constantly, so that it can be used with occupancy sensors.

2. Some models may have led its intensity controlled light, which allows the creation of different scenarios and climates. For this, note the packaging the product is dimmable.

3. The LED dispenses reactor use.

4. When choosing the LED, in addition to observing the power (W), which indicates the consumption, and the Luminous Flux (lm), which is how the lamp will illuminate note the Color Temperature (K): Yellow (for a more welcoming) environment, cool white (for sites with more activity) and warm white (not obscure the view).

5. To apply the LED in kitchens and bathrooms, which are locations susceptible to moisture, we recommend using airtight fixtures. This prevents your electronic components from being damaged by moisture and they will burn before the allotted time.

6. The LEDs do not burn, but its luminous flux depreciates after the lifetime estimated in the package.

7. When replacing another technology for LED watch to information on equivalence described in the package to ensure you have savings. For example, when it says that a 18W LED equivalent to an incandescent 60W, it means that this replacement you are consuming 42W less, so it is more economical.

8. The LED can be discarded in the trash because they do not contain mercury or heavy metals in its composition.

9. The LED does not heat the environment. So, does not attract insects or fades objects.

10. The LED does not offer health risk if it breaks because it contains no toxic materials.

11. The LED reduces emissions of greenhouse gases.

12. The LED does not emit ultraviolet or infrared.

13. How lasts longer, the LED reduces maintenance costs.
