LED lighting is often used in under cabinet lighting, inside glass cabinets, above cabinets, under vanity toe kick areas, and so much more.
While LED (light-emitting diodes) lighting is nothing new, there has been a heightened interest in this light source because LED lighting uses less energy and lasts longer than incandescent bulbs. Basically, LED lighting is a GREEN lighting source. And nowadays, who doesn’t want a greener home or business?
What is LED Tape?
When you hear the term “LED Tape,” you might be a little confused. Don’t be. When we say LED tape all we mean is LED light strips. These energy efficient strips can be installed almost anywhere, including finished spaces due to the low voltage small wiring aspect of the installation. LED tape is often used in under cabinet lighting, inside glass cabinets, above cabinets, under vanity toe kick areas, and so much more.
What Are the Benefits of LED Lighting?
- LED lights have a long life, up to 50,000 hours.
- LED lights are low voltage, making for easy installation.
- LED lights operate at a very cool temperature and put off little to no heat, making them a much safer option.
- LED lights put off warm white 2800-3200 Kelvin / perfect light as compared to standard incandescent.
- LED lights are instant on with no flickering as found in some fluorescent fixtures.
- LED light systems can be dimmed for ambiance as well as cost savings (you use less wattage when lights are dimmed).
- LED lights are very cheap to operate, meaning you don’t have to stress the next time you forget to turn off the lights before you leave for work.
How Energy Efficient Are LED Lights?
Most kitchens equipped with LED lighting will only use up to 48 watts of power at an average use of less than 4 watt per linear foot of LED tape. This is compared to standard halogen lighting, which uses three times that much at 12 watts per linear foot. Plus halogen lights get extremely hot and have a fraction of the bulb life.
