The summer season has finally arrived! Warm sunshine and humidity make it tough to survive without efficient cooling. This means higher electric bills because the air conditioner is on full blast. Insulation, tight window and door seals, and drawing curtains during peak warm hours are just a few ways to keep your home cool during the summer. Installing LED lighting is another way to relieve stress on your air conditioning system. LEDs are not only energy-efficient, but they also help to reduce the amount of heat generated inside your home during the summer months.

 

HEAT GAIN AND LIGHTING

Traditional lighting, such as fluorescent light fixtures and incandescent light bulbs, uses the majority of their energy to generate heat, which is required for the bulbs to function. This heat is then dispersed throughout the surrounding area, including your home. This is referred to as heat gain. While this release of heat into the air is welcome in the winter, it reduces the efficiency of your air conditioner while also increasing your electric bill.

 

HOW DOES LED LIGHTING REDUCE HEAT GAIN?

LEDs, contrary to popular belief, do produce heat. However, unlike traditional bulbs, they use the majority of their energy to produce light. Heat is not required for LEDs to turn on or stay on, and heat sinks are used to pull heat away from the diodes. This prevents heat from spreading throughout your home and keeps LEDs cool to the touch. As you might expect, the reduced heat gain means your air conditioner doesn’t have to work as hard to keep your home at the cool and crisp 70 degrees you prefer.

Here are some  LED lights from Gloware that Albirco supplies that will help you reduce the heat in your home.

 

Panel lights with LEDs

LED Panel lights are an excellent way to brighten up your home.  They are eco-friendly and add elegance to any environment. To provide optimal lighting, these can be mounted on ceilings. They brighten up spaces and are available in a range of sizes, colours, and other features to enhance your experience.

Spotlights with LEDs

These are lights that have small apertures and produce a spot-like effect when used. LED spotlights can be mounted on walls, house corners, ceilings, and even above furniture for both outdoor and indoor lighting.

Lights from LED tubes

LED tube lights are also one of the most popular options, with a wide range of applications. Because of their ease of installation and wide range of applications, they can be found in any store.

Ceiling fixtures

Because of technological advancements and smart lighting, LED lighting has evolved. Ceiling LED lights are an example of such innovation, allowing for easier room viewing while also providing a number of advantages.

Lights in strips

These are contemporary lights that come in a variety of colours. They have gleaming, dust-free finishes and are stylish and sophisticated. The majority of LED strip lights are made of UV-protected polycarbonate, which is preferred to keep numerous light switches looking stylish and classy. Strip lights provide a lot of light while using very little energy.

Surface lighting

A surface-mounted light is one that rests on top of a flat surface and protrudes from it, such as the flat part of a ceiling. This type of lighting is available in a variety of shapes and sizes, and it’s ideal for situations where there isn’t much space between the structural ceiling and the dropdown ceiling, or where the ceiling is exposed.

LED Downlights

It is the type that primarily directs light downward. The degree to which the light projects is determined by the angle of the beam inside the globe. This type of downlight is ideal for general lighting because it illuminates the space evenly.
