The possibilities and potential for LED indoor lighting in both the commercial and residential space is truly unlimited. Energy efficient and long lasting, LEDs are being designed into new fixtures and into retrofit lamps for existing fixtures.
The long service life and efficiency of LED lighting delivers significant benefits for indoor applications, especially those currently using incandescent bulbs. Current-generation LEDs deliver approximately five times the efficiency of many incandescent bulbs, and effective light fixture design can improve these gains even further. Since LEDs generate less heat than most light sources, and since the heat generated is not radiated into the work or living space as it is with light bulbs, LEDs can also reduce the load on air conditioning systems and hence reduce the electricity used to cool the area.
