Shedding Light on LEDs: Commonly Asked Questions Answered

LED (Light Emitting Diode) lighting has completed changed the way we illuminate our homes and businesses. They're energy-efficient, long-lasting, and offer a variety of benefits over traditional lighting options. But with so many choices and considerations, it's natural to have questions. Here at Brite, we're here to answer some of the most commonly asked questions about LED lights:

1. Are LED lights really as energy-efficient as they claim?

Yes! LED lights use up to 80% less energy than incandescent bulbs and can last 25 times longer. This translates to significant savings on your electricity bill, reduce replacement costs and efforts and a reduced environmental footprint.

2. Are LED lights dimmable?

Yes! Brite specialises in dimmable LED lights for your homes and commercial spaces. Together with our dimmable driver, you can dim your lighting to your desired brightness level. We also have our flagship motion-activated series lighting for caparks, lift lobbies and staircases automatically dims when there is no motion detected. This saves your trouble of dimming it manually and saves your energy consumption by up to 90%.

3. Do LED lights flicker?

High-quality LED lights should not flicker noticeably. However, flickering can occur due to incompatible drivers or faulty electrical wiring during installation. If you experience flickering, do consult a qualified electrician.

4. How long do LED lights last?

LED lights typically boast a lifespan of 25,000 to 50,000 hours, which translates to years of worry-free use. This significantly reduces the need for frequent replacements compared to traditional bulbs.

5. Are LED lights safe? Are LED lights harmful?

LED lights are safe for residential and commercial use. They are free of mercury, unlike fluorescent bulbs, and emit minimal heat, making them a safer option.

6. Can LED lights cause headaches? What light color helps with headaches?

Some people may experience headaches from flickering LED lights, particularly those with a high blue light content. Look for flicker-free LED lights and choose warmer colour temperatures (around 3000K to 4000K) that emit less blue light. These warmer tones are often considered more relaxing and less likely to trigger headaches. Brite's LED lights are all flicker-free and have 3000K and 4000K colour temperatures available for our lighting options.

8. Why are LED lights more expensive than fluorescent lights?

Fluorescent lights have a lower upfront cost due to simpler technology. However, LED lights offer significantly better energy efficiency and a much longer lifespan. When you factor in the cost of replacing fluorescent bulbs multiple times over the lifespan of a single LED bulb, LEDs become a more cost-effective option in the long run.

9. How do I choose the right LED light for my needs?

Consider factors like the desired brightness (measured in lumens), color temperature and application (indoor/outdoor). Brite LED Lighting offers a wide variety of LED lights to suit your specific requirements.  Feel free to browse our selection or contact our lighting specialists for personalised recommendations!
