LED lamps

The advantages of LED lighting

• Efficiency: The efficiency of an LED bulb is around 80% better than a standard incandescent bulb. LED bulbs do not produce heat when they emit light. They convert about 80% of the electrical energy to light with minimal loss compared to an incandescent bulb that converts only 20% of the electrical energy into light. LED lamps significantly reduce your electricity bills. LED lights also focus light without needing a reflector. 
• Longevity: LED lamps usually last around 25 times longer than a halogen bulb and 50 times longer than a standard incandescent bulb. When LED lamps reach the end of their usable life, they do not abruptly stop working. Instead, they start becoming less bright, giving you ample time to buy a replacement bulb. Though an LED bulb’s upfront cost is higher than a conventional bulb, it more than compensates with savings in replacement bulbs and electricity bills. LED lamps are also more durable and less temperature-sensitive than traditional bulbs. The longevity of LED bulbs reduces the frequency of maintaining and replacing bulbs in LED ceiling lights.
• Environmentally friendly: LED lamps are 100% recyclable. They do not emit UV rays and are free of all harsh chemicals present in fluorescent bulbs. Since they last much longer than a standard bulb, they also save the cost and resources used in production. 
• Slim design: LED lamps are less bulky than standard lamps. So LED lamp designs are more innovative and thinner than traditional lamp designs. LED lamps are compact and smaller than their conventional counterparts. Sleek tubular designs such as the HÅRTE LED work lamp would not be possible with traditional bulbs. The LEDBERG LED lighting strip is just 1-cm wide and makes a big impact on your home’s look. LED ceiling lights that are almost flat are easy to install. 
• Dimming: Modern LED lamps are dimmable. It is possible to control the colour and brightness of LED light in a room. Most LEDs emit a warmer light as you dim them. This feature enables you to use the same LED ceiling lights for work lighting and mood lighting. 
• Colours: LED bulbs are available in a range of colours. 
• Instant light: LEDs light up as soon as you turn them on. The longevity of the bulb is not affected by being turned on and off, unlike traditional bulbs. 
• Low voltage operation: You can operate LEDs lamps with very low voltages, making them ideal for home lighting solutions using solar power. This also makes them ideal for battery-powered lights that need no wiring, such as the RAMSTA LED minilamp. You can affix this lamp in a wardrobe or a dark corner cabinet without any wiring.

 

Using LED lights in a traditional interior

LED lamps and bulbs are also manufactured to replace traditional bulbs easily. So, it would be easy to have a retro or traditional look with all the benefits of LED lighting. You can recreate the classic vanity mirror with lights using the  LEDSJÖ LED wall lamp. It gives you the same retro look without the heat that filament bulbs would generate.
