The Best Places in Your Home for LED Lighting

LED lighting is all the craze lately, and for good reason! Not only are LEDs economically friendly, but they offer a wide range of lighting choices. While LED bulbs can be more expensive initially, they are so energy efficient that they will save you in the long run. Not to mention, you won’t be changing your light bulbs nearly as often. 

Today, our experts at Axiom Power will help you take advantage of your new LED bulbs, showing you the best places in your home to utilize them! 

Out of Reach Fixtures 

Aside from using little energy, an LED bulb lasts much longer than traditional bulbs. While a traditional lightbulb can last anywhere from 750 - 2000 hours, an LED can last from 40,000 - 50,000 hours! That’s around 5 YEARS! Electricity savings aside, the bulbs will surely pay for themselves compared to the cost of new traditional light bulbs. 

Because these bulbs last so long, they are ideal to use in hard-to-reach fixtures. Forget having to take the ladder out every year because a bulb went out on the ceiling—with 5 years of continuous runtime, your ladder will be collecting dust! 

Replace all your lights with LEDs at once to prevent them from going out at different times. 

Kitchen Lighting 

Swapping your bulbs out in the kitchen with ultra-bright LEDs is a game changer! While some high-powered bulbs can drain your energy bill, a high-quality LED can brighten your kitchen up more than ever before, for a fraction of the energy cost. 

Having brighter, daylight-toned lights in the kitchen will not only increase visibility but can also help you focus more on that new recipe you’re trying out!

Outdoor Lighting 

Just like taller indoor fixtures, outdoor lighting can be hard to access. Also, as outdoor lights are typically left on overnight, swapping them out for long-lasting LEDs just makes sense. The goal is to use the ladder as little as possible! 

LED bulbs also typically are made from shatter-resistant plastic, so an accidental drop while changing a light bulb outside won't lead to you picking random chunks of glass out of the pool for the next few years.

Living Areas 

Spaces like the living room and bedrooms are some of the best places for LED bulbs, for all the reasons we have mentioned already. But there is one added bonus that most people overlook. There are many “smart” LED bulbs that can be adjusted for both brightness and temperature!  

Next time you’re getting comfortable watching a movie and you realize the lights are all on, you don’t have to get up. You can simply use an app or a smart home device, such as an Amazon Echo, to turn your lights from bright white to a dim warm tone for a night of relaxation. 

This is especially useful in the bedroom, as you can easily turn off your lights from the bed, or tone them down to a warm tone to reduce blue light while getting ready for sleep. Most LED bulbs are not smart bulbs, but most smart bulbs are LEDs, so grab a couple of smart ones for specific lamps or rooms in the house.
