LED Spotlights replaced Halogen spotlights



For outdoor accent lighting, halogen spotlights were/are being used. The demand of spotlights is old enough for the commercial as well as residential lighting. As for example in shopping malls, cinemas, business institutes, shops, restaurants, other beautiful places, some historical places, front of statues or fountains, etc, in order to beautiful stream of illumination. They are even used inside the home, to display any art work or any special portion of house, in an effective manner.  Though halogen spotlight are still being used at some places, at the same time, these are getting replaced by LED spotlights. The LED spotlight is a favourite topic for modern lighting designers, and so they are using them for added advantages.

There are similarities as well as differences between two of them. Talking about similarities, none of them emit any harmful gases; hence both of them are environment friendly. Both of them are durable and long lasting and reflect soothing bright white light. Irrespective of such similarities, there are certain differences between both of them. Rather, it can be said that there are some disadvantages of halogen spotlights, because of which LED spotlights conquer over them and so are in demand.

Talking about those disadvantages and so differences between them. Halogen Spotlights functions at very high temperature needing a very high voltage hence resulting into high energy consumption. This is due to the fact that halogen lights have tungsten filaments, so in order to produce good light, that filament has to be heated strongly. While on the other hand, in case of LED lights, there is no filament. The technology behind LED lights illumination is the low of electrons through the units of diodes. And this flow of electron requires very low voltage to generate good amount of illumination. Undoubtedly, this results in extremely low consumption of energy. Hence, it is very obvious that more and more crowd will prefer saving their money. With much long age and low consumption, halogen spotlights are getting replaced by LED spotlights, ignoring the hassles in replacement.

Moreover, unlike CFL, LED spotlights do not use mercury, hence are generally used in closed areas as well such as to focus any delicate item in a shop. Due to this fact, since there is no chance of electrocution, these are being used near kids as well. Used in photography and in house decor, because of no heat radiation there are no chances of heat damage.
Initially, these LED lights were very expensive, but with the increase in demand, there is a great downfall in its prices. In addition to this, its long life benefits it users. There are some special LED spotlights which comprises multifaceted reflectors to produce very crispy bright light. Other than this type, there is one more type which can be operated in both AC and DC power supply.

With above added advantages, you can easily figure out the best choice as per your requirement with any false illusion.
