Are you ready for the LED lighting phenomenon?

(NC)—The LED lighting phenomenon we have been anticipating is now here. While LEDs, otherwise known as light-emitting diodes, are commonly found as indicator lights on cars and electronic devices, they are now available as an everyday lighting option for your home.

As LEDs significantly reduce energy consumption, this lighting solution is beneficial for home applications that require illumination for several hours a day or places where the lights are frequently turned on and off. The challenge of changing hard to reach light bulbs such as in recessed pot lights and track lighting, can also easily be solved by using LED light bulbs. Kristine Fisher, marketing manager for Philips Lighting indicates, "LEDs are excellent for accent lighting and we have just recently introduced GU10 and MR16 spot lights in both cool and warm white to the market".

LED lighting is more than just a light bulb, it's a technology. Outperforming standard lighting by lasting up to 80% longer, LEDs produce more light per watt of electricity and significantly reduce energy consumption. Philips, known for its innovative lighting technologies, has mini reflectors that use only 4 watts of electricity while providing a high quality light output.

When considering the benefits of installing LED lighting, the energy savings and length of life far surpass standard lighting sources, not to mention you will have the coolest new lighting technology in your home.
