Eco- Friendly Lights as Led lighting does not produce any ultraviolet (UV) light. Ultraviolet rays are harmful for skin and eyes. They are made from non-toxic materials and can be recycled |
|
|
 |
LED Lights give high illumination, and are durable & energy efficient as they use 90% less energy than regular lights. |
|
|
 |
More safer than Bulbs as they stay cool and pose less of a fire hazard unlike Halogen and incandescent lights which are hot enough to cause fire, and they frequently do. |
|
|
 |
There is no waiting for led light bulbs to warm up, led bulbs are not affected by frequent on-off switching. It lights up instantly at full brightness, even in the coldest weather. |
|
|
 |
LEDs are sturdy bulbs as Durable plastic bulbs are less likely to break than traditional glass bulbs. |
|
|
Now lets see, How it saves Money? |
|
|
Mainly two reasons why LED bulbs save money: |
|
|
 |
The first reason is because they use less energy. It is this reason that accounts for most of the cost savings of LED lighting. |
|
|
 |
The second reason is a result that follows from the fact that the LED bulbs last longer. Due to the longer life of LED lights the frequency of replacements is much lower. This saves on new fixture purchases and costly maintenance. |
|
|
When comparing cost, both energy savings and replacement savings should be taken into account. |
|
|
LED Lights are also cost effective as although LEDs are expensive, the cost is recouped over time and in battery savings. Most consumers do not recognize the lower cost due to the comparatively high purchase price of LED bulbs.. However, the lower energy use and longer life of the LED bulbs must be considered to get a fair comparison. |
|
|
To understand better, we can study 10 years comparison chart showing number of replacements against different light sources . |

Savings by Installing Apex LED lights |
|
|
LED bulbs last up to 10 times longer than CFLs and consume anywhere from 1/3rd to 1/30th the electricity of a standard incandescent light bulb. The best characteristic of these bulbs is their extremely long life span, cause an Incandescent has a life of about 1000 hours, a Halogen about 2000 hours but LEDs are having a lifetime of over 50,000 hours; that means you will hardly have to change these bulbs! This saves costly electrician maintenance charges. One LED light bulb can easily outlast 30 Incandescent Bulbs, or 6 Compact Fluorescents! |

With electricity cost i.e rate per unit set to rise it would be a prudent investment in installing Apex LED Lighting System now. The cost benefits in the long run will be Substantial in terms of “Money Saved is Money Earned”. |
