What are the advantages of LED lamps compared to conventional incandescent lamps ?
LEDs are the modern alternative to conventional incandescent lamps and offer many advantages in terms of brightness, energy efficiency and durabilityHere you can find out why switching to LED technology is a good decision.
1️⃣ Longer lifespan – Up to 50x longer than incandescent lamps
✅ LEDs last up to 50,000 hours, while conventional incandescent lamps often only last 1,000 - 2,000 hours.
✅ Less frequent changes means lower maintenance costs and more comfort.
📌 Example:
An LED that lights up for 3 hours a day can over 45 years hold!
2️⃣ Lower energy consumption – saves up to 80% electricity
✅ LEDs consume up to 80% less energy than conventional incandescent lamps.
✅ That means less strain on the car battery and more efficient use of electricity.
📌 Example:
A conventional 21W light bulb can be replaced by a 3W LED replaced – with the same or even better brightness!
3️⃣ More brightness & better light image
✅ LEDs have a higher light output, i.e. more light with less energy consumption.
✅ Through their targeted light control the light is emitted where it is needed – instead of scattering in all directions.
✅ Depending on the color temperature, you can choose between cold white (6000K) for modern light or warmer white (4300K) for pleasant lighting.
📌 Comparison:
- light bulb: Yellowish light, often dim.
- LED: Clear white light with better illumination.
4️⃣ Instant full brightness – No switch-on delay
✅ While incandescent lamps require a short warm-up phase, LEDs immediately ready for use with full brightness.
✅ Especially useful for indicators, brake lights and reversing lightswhere every second counts.
📌 Tip: An LED brake light can up to 0.2 seconds faster light up more quickly than an incandescent lamp – this can save valuable meters of braking distance in traffic!
5️⃣ Robust & shockproof
✅ LEDs have no sensitive filamentwhich can be damaged by vibrations or shocks.
✅ Ideal for use in vehicles, motorcycles, off-road vehicles & commercial vehicles.
📌 Light bulb problem:
Shocks from potholes or high temperatures in the headlight can cause them to burn out more quickly.
6️⃣ More safety – better visibility in traffic
✅ LEDs provide a clearer and more intense lightingso that you can be seen better.
✅ Especially important for daytime running lights, brake lights & tail lightsbecause quick reactions in traffic can save lives.
📌 Example:
A bright LED daytime running lights makes you much more visible during the day than weak halogen lamps.
7️⃣ More environmentally friendly – less CO₂ & no toxic substances
✅ LEDs included no toxic substances such as mercury, which is found in some light bulbs.
✅ Due to the lower energy consumption, they contribute to CO₂ reduction at.
✅ Fewer lamp changes = less electronic waste.
📌 Tip: Sustainability is not only good for the environment, it also saves you money in the long run!
Conclusion: Why switch to LEDs?
✔️ Longer lasting – up to 50,000 hours lifespan
✔️ energy efficient – saves up to 80% electricity
✔️ Brighter light – better vision and visibility
✔️ Faster switching on – ideal for safety-relevant lights
✔️ Robust & shockproof – no sensitive filaments
✔️ Better for the Environment – no mercury, less electronic waste
