If you’ve been considering upgrading your home’s exterior lighting, you might wonder: what are permanent LED lights? How do they work, and how long do they last? The simple answer is this: LED lights, or light-emitting diode lights, are super durable, bright, and beautiful lights that are energy-efficient.
This means you can run them every day at a low cost for your energy bills, which is a huge advantage over other types of lighting.
Some types of lighting, like incandescent or halogen bulbs, waste up to 90% of energy via heat loss, whereas LED lighting runs cool and doesn’t waste as much energy.
Permanent LED lights are a long-term lighting solution for homes and businesses. At Gemstone Lights, our permanent lights are installed by professionals and designed to blend in with your home, so they will look good for years to come.
Our track lights, for example, are installed under the L-trim of your home on a track designed to be a close color match. This means they won’t stick out when switched off—they will feel like part of the building itself.
They’re also engineered to be weather-resistant, so once they’re in place, you won’t have to worry about them: they’re so securely attached that you might even forget that they’re when they’re not switched on.
This also means you won’t have to climb up a ladder every time you need to install some Christmas lighting for example—the lights will already be in place and can be controlled and customized in different colors, patterns, and animations using the Gemstone Lights app.
What Does ‘Permanent’ Mean?
One of the common questions people want to know is: how long do permanent LED lights last?
Our LED lights are designed to last a long time. That includes withstanding tough weather conditions, from heavy snow to coastal wind to long, hot summer days. We’ve calculated their staying power, and they should last for at least 50,000 hours.
This equates to 23 years of use if you use your new lights for 6 hours a day—so these are a long-term investment.
Why Are LED Lights So Efficient?
LED lights make sense as a long-term solution because they are energy-efficient. Other types of lighting (like halogen) waste a lot of energy via heat, which is a safety issue and means you spend more on your energy bills.
Even if you run your LED lights for 6 hours a day, that will cost around $4.34 per month in energy costs.
To Sum Up …
Permanent LED lights are designed to last for a long time, and the running costs are so low that you can use them daily without much of a difference to your energy bills. Whether you go for track lights, flood lights, or a combination of both, your local Authorized Dealer can start the process.
