If you’ve ever vacationed in an RV before, you may notice that most lights in the rig are LED. There’s a good reason for this. LED lights require less energy to run than other types of bulbs. This is a lifesaver when you take an RV to campgrounds without shore power.
LED lights work exactly the same at a home or business. You save on energy costs while reducing your carbon footprint. Also, if a storm knocks the lights out and it switches over to backup power, your generator will last a much longer time with LED lights than other types. Here are a few other reasons you should make the switch.
Helps the Environment
Some people choose LED for the obvious benefit to the environment. Not only do you rely less on fossil fuels, but LEDs are not manufactured using mercury. When you discard of LED bulbs, this helps to reduce all the mercury piling up at landfills that can leach into water supplies and pose serious health risks.
Lasts a Long Time
LED lights rarely fail and can last up to 50,000 hours. That’s more than five calendar years of lighting if left on continuously. This is up to 10 times the rating of a CFL, up to 25 times that of halogen bulbs and roughly 50 times that of incandescent bulbs. You can spend less time and money on replacing bulbs.
Cost Is Worth It
In the past, LED bulbs were way beyond the economic reach of everyday customers. Those days are long gone. Customers can now purchase not only regular LED bulbs but even smart LED lights with sensors. Some even accept commands through Alexa or Google. The energy savings over time also help to reduce the overall cost of using these bulbs instead of their contenders.
