B22 LED Bulbs for Quality Lighting

LED lighting is growing in popularity throughout the world, not only for their efficiency but also for their eco and budget-friendliness. Traditional lighting options are soon to be made obsolete by these highly efficient lighting implements that don't only save homeowners bucket loads of cash due to lower electricity costs, but provide a more eco-friendly choice of lighting that uses energy thriftily.

Switching to LED lights is one of the best decisions you can have for your home. These lights are designed to fit most types of standard fittings. B22 LED bulbs are available for bayonet style caps, along with other types of fittings that households and basic lamps use. This makes upgrading your lighting as seamless as possible, as you won't have to replace sockets just to accommodate new LED bulbs.

One of the best advantages of LEDs is a long life. Typical LED bulbs can last for up to 35,000 to 50,000 hours of life, compared to 10,000 to 15,000 maximum, for other types of light bulbs and tubes. LEDs also produce more light per watt than traditional light sources. Plus, they can emit a wide variety of light colours without the need for filters and gels that traditional lights require. Even when used under frequent on-off cycles, the LEDs will not burn out, unlike usual HID and fluorescent lamps. LEDs can also light up to full brightness instantly, as opposed to other lamps that take time to burn bright. When it comes to dimming, LEDs can easily be controlled by lowering the forward current or using pulse-width modulation. LEDs are also cool light sources that radiate very little heat, which means they cause no harm to objects and items that are sensitive to UV light and heat. Lastly, LEDs are very shock resistant, making them less fragile to use than traditional lights.
