The International Day of Light is celebrated in tribute to one of the great advances in the history of humanity that has been transcendental in the evolution of the human being. This date was determined by the United Nations Organization thanks to the fact that their contributions have been key in what refers to culture, art and society in general.
So when we talk about light it is essential to refer to LED bulbs , whose appearance has been a before and after in the history of electricity. According to data from last year 2017, these represent more than 50 percent of the total turnover in data that speak of the success and popularity they enjoy, both in Spain and in the rest of the world.
And why have LED bulbs won out over traditional ones? Very easy. Everything is related to their great efficiency, since they allow to save 75 percent of energy and are much more sustainable from the environmental point of view since they do not contain mercury (they emit light, not heat). In addition, the durability of these is much greater compared to the traditional ones since they have an average age of 30,000 hours.
So these are the main reasons why most of the population and
institutions (they are used a lot in public lighting) opt for LED bulbs to put
a little light in their life. But, anyway, you can also find other interesting
lighting options on the market.
