Most individuals have come across LED home lighting in one form or another; typically in torches, Christmas light fittings and solar or mains powered garden lighting. But many are still unaware that home LED home lighting is now not only possible, but very much the future of household lighting.

The Lighting Industry is fast dropping further investment within the current generation of low-power lamps (Compact Fluorescent Lamps or CFLs - ungainly, garish and, being filled with Mercury vapour, a disposal nightmare). Companies such as Philips Lighting Corporation have already stated their commitment to LED home lighting as the way forward.

As a result the supply, range and affordability of LED home lighting solutions is increasing at an explosive rate. However as at this moment it is still best to introduce LED home lighting into your own home by approaching those application that LEDs are best in a position to replace.

The essential difference between traditional incandescent light bulbs and LED lights is that the former wastes as much as 98% of the electrical energy supplied as heat but does shine light in all directions, whereas LED light sources convert nearly all their electrical energy into light (hence the reason they stay cool to the touch) but shine a pure and very intense directional light.

The other key differentiator is price of ownership. LED light bulbs last an incredibly long time (three decades of normal use) and cost so little to run that the cost of the electricity used throughout the entire lifetime of a bulb is almost certain to be less than the price of the bulb itself. This is in stark contrast to normal non-LED bulbs that are typically well over 500 times the price of the bulb itself in operating and replacement costs.

These particular qualities (extremely efficient, zero fire risk and focused light) make LED light bulbs a perfect replacement for spot lights, especially the ubiquitous halogen lamps presently found in many homes and that waste heat and money in abundance.

But replacing domestic halogen down lighters is just one aspect of spot lighting that LED lamps are perfect for. Additionally they make ideal display lighting and as a bonus can be fitted in places where you couldn't even think about using conventional incandescent spot lights because of the risk of damage and fire from their extremely high operating temperature.

LED spot lights are a natural alternative for bringing illumination to display units, shelves, beneath kitchen shelves and inside cupboards and wardrobes. They can be easily installed adjacent to objects and surfaces without any danger of causing heat damage and often give a much better light than ordinary light bulbs in such applications.

Another dimension that home LED home lighting is revolutionising is mood lighting, bringing a whole new array of effects that existing lighting technology can not begin to emulate. LED mood lighting makes available a completely new palette of vibrant color that can be altered and blended at will to produce wonderful effects, either as a focal point or cast against floors, ceilings and walls to change the ambiance of any room in your house.
