Why choose LED lighting?
Well the technical reasons are that LED’s offer longer life span Due to the way that LED’s generate light.
As well as their low heat levels and energy efficiency which allow LED’s to outlast other bulbs by thousands of hours.
This will result in huge savings on maintenance and replacement costs because of the long LED lifespan. So not only are they massively more energy efficient than normal filament bulbs, but they’re cheaper to run and do not emit heat so are far safer to use too! Also on average, you can expect a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours of illumination from LED lights.
But we love them because of the HUGE variety and choice!
Gone are the days of expensive and slow-to-warm-up cold white LED bulbs. The massive variety and selection of LEDs available today opens up a lot of creative options to light your home and business.
These highly efficient lamps come in a wide range of colours, lumen levels, and shapes. Our personal favourites are the low-profile, flexible strips that are perfect for adding instant ambience to any space.
LED strips are incredibly versatile.
They easily fit in all manner of places thanks to their adhesive backing or clips—as long as they are within reach of an electrical outlet and a surface they can attach to. This makes LED strips ideal for adding illumination to areas you’ve only dreamed of. Here’s some of our favourite ideas to instantly transform your home.
Ceiling coving or cornice
Installing LED strips in the ceiling coving of any space in your home is a convenient and inexpensive way to add interest to your ceiling and highlight architectural details. They add subtle lighting to any room, create a warm welcome in a hallway, add ambience to a bathroom or kitchen along with the added benefit of being a great night light!
Stairs
LED strips can be added to stairs both below the railing or underneath the tread. Not only do they look sleek, but they will also make it easier to navigate the stairs at night without waking yourself up by turning on bright overhead lighting.
Mirrors
Backlighting a mirror with LED strips is an updated, futuristic take on traditional large vanity mirror bulbs. It also creates a soft glow and provides a very even level of lighting, limiting shadows and making you look your best.
Shelving
ONE OF OUR PERSONAL FAVOURITES! LED strip lights on shelves can be used to showcase your favourite books, collectibles, artwork ETC in an interesting way. It also just looks good! If you’d rather avoid the hassle of turning the lights on and off, motion-activated LED light sticks are another great way to add light to these spaces.
Under cabinets, toe-kicks, and in drawers
Much like shelves, adding LED light strips under and in your kitchen or bathroom cabinets, as well as drawers, can enhance the appearance of your space. As an added bonus it also makes a great night light and will add functionality to make your cupboards, drawers, and surface areas easier to search and work in.
Outdoors
LED strips can be used outdoors as well. There are special ones available that are designed specifically for the environmental conditions they will be exposed to and the dirt.
They can pretty much be placed anywhere, including:
* Railings
* Steps
* Pathways
* Under roof soffits
* Porches
* Decks
* Patio furniture
