How Safe are LED Lights in Southwest Florida?


Thinking about making the switch to LED bulbs for your outdoor led lighting in Florida? Find out more about LED technology and how LED lights compare to energy-saving light bulbs, halogens, and old-style incandescent bulbs. If you're already convinced by LED light bulbs, make sure you get the best LED bulbs around by selecting our sea turtle-safe LED lights from Lanai Lights. Before we move on picking up LED lights, here are some facts you should know about LED lights and how safe LED lights are in Southwest Florida.

LED lights have been hailed as the future of home lighting, as they use very little energy,  last a very long time and, unlike regular energy-saving bulbs, they are instantly bright when switched on. Early LED was limited by high prices and relatively low light output, but the technology has developed rapidly in recent years, and you can now get bright, efficient LED bulbs that replace 100 Watts old-style bulbs and look just like a traditional bulb. 

How safe are LED Lights?

The LED market is currently a self-regulated market, so a CE mark on the bulb does not necessarily mean that it has been through all of the required quality checks. The quality of LED bulbs can therefore vary. Some people don't like the quality of light given out by LED light bulbs, as some can produce a cooler bluish light. The best LED will be indistinguishable from your old incandescent bulbs and be able to produce a nice warm light. To be able to dim LED lights you may need to upgrade to a dimmer that recognizes low electrical loads. The packaging should say whether LED are dim, but check with the manufacturer if you are unsure.  Your best solution is to have Lanai Lights perform a free consultation with all your options.

Should I buy LED bulbs?

Yes. These bulbs are the most energy efficient, they are long lasting and get bright the instant you flick the light switch. Make sure you check before you buy though, as quality can vary.
