What Style Of LED Ceiling Light Should You Buy

Today the demand for energy is far greater than what we are actually consuming. With the introduction of LED (light emitting diodes) revolutionary changes have taken place where electrical goods are concerned. If you were to buy a LED ceiling light, not only will you find them a lot more energy efficient but also very environmentally friendly.

Of all the appliances that contain LED today lights and bulbs are more popular than any other. There are many reasons why so many people are now choosing to change from using conventional incandescent or fluorescent light fittings to ones that use LED.

The first reason of course is that these types of light fittings including LED ceiling light fittings are more cost effective as they don't require as much energy to power them. Secondly they are now available in a wide selection of different shapes, sizes and styles.

Also you will find that look just as beautiful as conventional light fittings so finding one that satisfies your particular tastes won't prove difficult. You will also find that installing such lights isn't that difficult. Finally these types of light fittings are very readily available.

As already mentioned above there are many types of LED ceiling lights available so determining which ones to purchase can prove a problem. Below we take a look at some styles you may want to consider purchasing.

Style 1 - Flush Mount Light

This is a style that hangs flat against the ceiling, although traditionally used in closets or hallways these styles are ideal for homes with low ceilings. Be aware however that when it comes to changing the bulbs in such ceiling lights that this can prove quite challenging.

Style 2 - Semi Flush Mount Light

This particular style of LED ceiling light hangs around 4 to 8 inches from the ceiling. People often choose this style in rooms with relatively high ceilings but where fitted of a chandelier wouldn't be possible.

Style 3 - Pendant Light

Just like a chandelier this style of light hangs some way down from the ceiling but provides you with only one source of light. The shade on such lights directs the light up or down dependent on the style of shade fitted.

Style 4 - Island Light

You will often find this type of light being used in a kitchen over anything in the centre of the room such as a kitchen island. Most of these types of ceiling lights will have lights that hang from the end of a stem or rod. As these types of lights have two or more light sources to them so they create a pool of light over the area where they hang.

Style 5 - Recessed Light

Sometimes referred to as can or pot lighting is actually mounted within the ceiling rather than being flush to it or hanging from it. The great thing about this form of LED ceiling light is that not only does it offer you inconspicuous lighting but also lighting that is suitable to allow you to carry out certain tasks.

Are LED Ceiling Lights & LED Light Bulbs Better?

Countries such as the United States, are either considering phasing out incandescent light bulbs or have already passed laws to ban these lights. As standard light bulbs go the way of the dinosaurs, customers are given with just two options, LED ceiling bulbs and compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs).

In fact, LED (light emitting diode) technology has been around for quite a while. LEDs are basically tiny light bulbs about the size of a matchstick head that fit into an electrical circuit. Which pinpoint light which indicates your dishwasher is running, for example, is a LED light. LED lights are used to form the numbers on digital clocks and are used as instrument panel lighting in vehicles, boats, and aircraft.

As LEDs are energy efficient, it can tolerate temperature variances and turbulence - all while lasting a long time - the quest began in an effort to create light bulbs by clustering numerous LED's together. And LED bulbs are now being produced that boast exceptional energy efficiency. A 7-watt LED light bulb, for example, can now replace a 75-watt incandescent bulb. As such, the potential savings in energy costs and greenhouse gasses is enormous.

While standard bulbs and CFLs illuminate light in all directions, the light from LED ceiling light is directed or focused, like a spotlight. While this works well for situations such as reading and work areas, it results in not satisfactory illumination for general lighting needs.

Many of the less expensive LED bulbs produced use poor quality LED's which burn out prematurely due to manufacturing issues. Unlike incandescent bulbs, which release their heat, LEDs contain their heat, which causes their light quality to degrade. Even though heat syncs are added to redirect the heat to a circuit board, issues with temperature overload are still frequent.

Due to their brightness, stability and attractive pricing (not much more than incandescent bulbs) CFL's are currently the better choice for most homes and businesses. However, if you decide to take LEDs for a test drive, here are some tips:

Start out by trying just one LED light.

Take time research and read consumer feedback and reviews. Weigh the pros and the cons. Pay careful attention to warranties and guarantees from both the manufacturer and the store you buy from. Beware of the less expensive LED light bulbs as they are often problematic.

Once the LED technology improves, LED ceiling lights will be worth looking at in the future. However for now, CFLs are clearly the better overall choice.
