When LED lighting was first introduced into the home, the best features were the significant energy savings and long bulb life. They weren`t well received because they were limited to color hues that were not appealing and they were also quite expensive. There was a benefit; LED bulbs can last up to 25,000 hours which is about 5 years of normal use, and they burn about 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs. They are available in many assorted color hues, shapes and sizes. They are still more expensive than traditional bulbs but the benefits far outweigh the costs. Led Strip Light,Led Strip Cap have low heat emission so they can be used where other bulbs were considered unsafe. Waterproof Led Driver can be used in outdoor. Designers are using them throughout the home as uplighting, downlighting and accent lighting. Additionally, they are now compatible with dimmer switches.
In 2007, Congress passed the bi-partisan Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA), which included new, higher efficiency standards for the basic lightbulbs we use today (think of the Edison lightbulb). Beginning in January 2012, these new standards will require these bulbs to be roughly 25 percent more efficient. That is, they will be required to consume less electricity (measured in watts) for the amount of light produced (measured in lumens).
