50 Reasons Why You Should Be Using LED Light Bulbs
The principal benefits of utilising LED lights over traditional lighting solutions are well documented on the web.
Go ahead and make a Google search for “LED benefits” or “LED advantages” and you’ll receive a ton of content on why you should make use of the technology. The trouble is, all these lists say the same sorts of things – and they’re not particularly long either.
It was with this in mind that we decided to devise a comprehensive and exhaustive list that would blow any other resource out of the water. Here is a list of 50 (yes, fifty, five-zero) reasons why you should be using LED Lights.
Like our list? Go ahead and share it and spread the message of why LEDs are so great.

Because they produce a cold light, LEDs can be ideal for plant growth
LED Lights are available in a number of different colours and shades that can define the style, setting and ambience you desire
There is no high-powered discharge that can have a detrimental effect on the eyes
LEDs use direct light meaning there is no light pollution
Used as a temperature gauge, LEDs can help you distinguish between hot and cold water
LEDs have no UV light, eradicating the possibility of skin damage
Used by your local council as lighting solutions, they will vastly improve the visibility on your roads
Despite being cold to touch, LEDs offer a “warm” glow– much like their incandescent counterparts

They are recyclable
LEDs don’t emit Radio Frequency interference
They could help improve your eyesight in the future (ok, perhaps a little farfetched)
LEDs can help to save lives
The low voltage power supply associated to LEDs increases electrical safety
They are lightweight
They are much brighter than your traditional lighting solution and will improve visibility
