Cylinder lights are a unique way to add both style and light to your space. They are often used in outdoor lighting as a way to highlight walkways and entryways, or in commercial spaces to illuminate the ceiling and walls. They can also be mounted in a variety of ways depending on your design needs.
LED (light-emitting diode) lighting is a highly efficient form of illumination that uses an electrical current to illuminate microchips inside the fixture. The microchips emit a yellowish light when turned on, which is then converted to white light by the phosphor layer on the interior of the fixture. LEDs are up to 90% more energy efficient than traditional incandescent bulbs.
There are several different types of LEDs, with a variety of color options available. In order to produce different colors, the microchips are covered with different materials that reflect or absorb the light. For example, red LEDs can be produced by combining blue and green microchips, while yellow LEDs are made by covering the red chips with a layer of phosphor.
Unlike traditional bulbs, which use filaments or halogen tubes to convert electricity into light, LEDs do not burn out, but rather experience a gradual loss in brightness over time. This process is called lumen depreciation, which is measured in hours. In comparison, incandescent bulbs have a rated life span of 1000 hours.
A LED cylinder light is a great choice for your next lighting project because of its durability and efficiency. The low power consumption and low heat output make it a good choice for both residential and commercial use. Additionally, LEDs can last up to 50,000 hours before they need to be replaced.
When compared to traditional recessed downlights, LED cylinder lights offer a more modern aesthetic and are suitable for residential and commercial use. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your kitchen, bedroom, hallway, or foyer, these fixtures are an excellent option for any space.
