Learn how LED can influence energy consumption and see the best options to replace the lamp of your home
Energy consumption is reduced with the LED lamps
LED bulbs are a good option for those looking for savings in the electricity bill. This cost cutting is possible, mainly because monthly energy consumption is considerably reduced when the incandescent or fluorescent lighting is replaced by LEDs.
Another benefit of the main characteristics of LED lamps is the life. While incandescent light lasts about one thousand hours and the fluorescent about 10 thousand, the LED is able to work perfectly for up to 50,000 hours - thereby reducing costs with possible changes lamps.
Moreover, the LED current is competitively priced. You can find the product selling for less than R $ 10 price similar to fluorescent lamp, for example.
The LED lamp models
PAR and AR: these models are the most recommended for substuir halogen lamps. Without the use of mercury, the product ensures efficiency in energy expenditure and consequent saving in consumption.
Dichroic: best option when halogen lamps are used for decorative purposes. It is also a good choice to complement the light interiors of the space in which it is used.
Tube: This model is ideal for commercial spaces such as offices and industries. It's what has, on average, higher prices, but pays off in more easily adaptable design to different types of environments.
Comparison of energy consumption
The difference in energy consumption between the lighting options can be seen in spending every hour. An incandescent bulb of 60W, for example, consumes the same energy as a LED lamp of only 4.5W. This represents a saving of 55,5W every hour.
The use of fluorescent lamps is a little more economical compared to incandescent, but still consumes much greater quantity than energy LED spent. A tubular fluorescent lamp with 40W, for example, provides the same consumption of LED lamps working with 18W. The exchange of a model for other is capable of providing an economy of 55,5W per hour.
