A typical outdoor wall light is likely to be a sodium vapor lamp. Sodium vapor lamps tend to have a very deep yellow or orange hue. Low-pressure sodium vapor lamps produce monochromatic emission, rendering colors poorly in exchange for the relatively better energy efficiency of conventional bulb technology. Interior solutions for wall lighting include traditional incandescent bulbs, but more typically mercury vapor bulbs. While each of these technologies has its advantages, industrial LED lighting outperforms all traditional alternatives in important ways.
LED Wall Lights vs Sodium Vapor Wall Lights: If you've ever walked around a parking lot or outside a building at night and noticed a deep yellow glow, chances are the lights you're seeing are sodium vapor. Low pressure sodium lamps emit a very deep yellow monochromatic light, while high pressure sodium lamps emit a slightly whitish yellowish light. Before the advancement of LEDs, these lamps were the best option for efficiency on the market. Let's take a look at what are the benefits of LED wall hanging lights? Why use LED wall lights instead of traditional lighting solutions?
Three advantages and benefits of LED wall lighting technology?
Reduce maintenance requirements
LED wall lights last four to forty times longer than traditional bulbs. This means fewer replacements for worn bulbs. The light produced by LED wall lighting technology is also different from typical fuel and filament lighting because it uses diodes. This means there are fewer moving parts to break, and therefore fewer repairs or replacements. The maintenance of traditional wall lamps requires a combination of labor and equipment costs, and the maintenance cost is more expensive than LED wall lamps. The longevity of LED wall lighting means that lamps do not need to be replaced frequently, which means saving you money.
Improve lighting quality
In terms of Color Rendering Index (CRI), Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) and Light Decay, LED wall sconces generally score higher than most traditional fixtures. CRI is a measure of the ability of light to display the actual color of an object compared to natural light. CCT usually describes the "glow" emitted by a light bulb - it can be selected from warm (warm yellow light) to cool (cool white light), rather than a traditional single color temperature. Due to the long service life, the light decay is relatively small. In all three aspects, LED wall lights perform very well.
Improve energy efficiency
Not only do LED wall lights produce different light, they also distribute lighting differently than traditional lighting solutions, reducing the amount of energy required to provide the same output. How does this work? First, many traditional lamps waste a lot of the energy they produce by dissipating it as heat. Second, most regular lights are omnidirectional, which means they can output light 360 degrees. A lot of light is wasted directed towards the ceiling or diluted because it has to be redirected through the use of fixtures. The use of LED wall lamps solves these two problems of wasting energy, greatly improving energy efficiency and light efficiency.
