Tungsten filament lamps with LED lights are very economical and energy saving. LED lights has made this kind of lamp an energy efficient lamp unlike its old original type.
Consume less electricity and have a long lifespan
The tungsten filament lamps as mentioned above are efficient in electricity consumption. This fact is one of the reasons they are popular. Because the old filament lamps had a good lighting but were very energy consuming.
In the old days people had to turn off the lamps or turn on less lamps because the electricity bill would cost a lot. Nowadays there is no worry about it.
Tungsten filament lamps with LED lights consume at least seventy percent less electricity. This means three or four LED filament lamp equals one old filament lamp in energy consumption.
The other fact about LED filaments is that they have much longer lifespan. Every LED light works for thousands of hours or more than five years. The old filaments’ lifespan was at two years in their best condition. This means saving a lot of money.
The old filament lamps used to give off a lot of heat. The heat made the environment warmer. The heat also was the reason the lamps had a short lifespan because with a little change in temperature the lamp would break. However, the LED ones do not give off this heat and work in different temperature conditions.
LED lights are compatible and eye friendly
Smart phones have changed lives a lot. They are making the life much easier. People are controlling everything with smart phones.
There are new smart switches for lights that turns the lights on and off by smart phones. The switch connects to smart phones wirelessly. LED tungsten filament lamps are compatible with this new technology.
There are also devices named dimmers. Dimmers change the brightness of lights to increase or decrease. The new filament lamps are also compatible with this device.
Long light exposure for eyes can be very dangerous. Most lights have UV rays. These rays dry the eye surface and result in burning. LED tungsten filament lamps have no UV rays and they are eye friendly.
Because eyes are exposed to lights at night for long hours it is important to choose the kinds of lights more wisely.
