Las Vegas, NV -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/01/2012 -- In today's world of emerging environmental awareness, demand for efficient energy lighting is continually growing. Many businesses and individuals are looking for lighting options, which not only cut on energy consumption but also are highly functional and cost efficient. LED tube lighting might be the solution for many most consumers.

LED acronyms light emitting diodes. They are small semiconductors chips, which alters electricity into light. The previous incandescent light produces light as secondary output via highly heated filaments, which necessitate a lot of energy. LEDs conversely translate most energy that flows through them into light, which makes them two times efficient than the previous incandescent lights.

The present technological growth in fluorescent lighting has led to the rise of compact fluorescent bulbs among people. However LEDs are more sufficient as they last 50-75 times more than incandescent light and 6-8 times more than compact fluorescent lights.

LED light comes in different colors, which can create different types of effects in a room. When choosing the right LED lighting for the office or home one should reflect on the level of lighting required in the area. This is because there are various levels that can produce a soft feel or bright glow in just a row.

LEDs are made with long silicon substrate encompassing several LEDs. This substrate is held in a glass pipe, which makes it ready to be installed. The tubes contain no chemicals or toxic gases hence making it disposable as common waste.

There are significant environmental and health hazards associated with, incandescent and fluorescent lights because they contain mercury that is extremely toxic and dangerous. People who have worked in warehouses and offices with fluorescent tubes are aware of the distraction and irritation of flickering lights, which can cause eye and vision problems. LED tube eliminates this flickering as they lose their luminosity over time but have great output.
