Conservation is important. Whether it is holding back a few extra dollars each month or preserving forests and beaches for our children to enjoy, saving is good for us all, and if you have been thinking about savings, the amount of energy your outdoor lighting system is consuming has probably crossed your mind. LED outdoor lighting had been met with mixed feelings and reviews for years. On one hand, it is extremely energy efficient, saving both money and wattage, but on 
the other, it has been criticized for its color, which has in the past looked very unnatural. For that reason, many homeowners have retained their halogen systems rather than upgrading to the more energy efficient option. Fortunately, LED technology has undergone some massive developments in the past few years, and Outdoor Lighting Perspectives is up to date with the latest LED fixtures. Now, your Tampa Bay area home can experience all of the benefits of LED outdoor lighting without sacrificing the natural look we all crave for our properties.
Let’s talk about color for a moment, since this area has been the deal breaker for many homeowners. In the past, LED fixtures emitted a stark white or blue tinted light. There are still many low quality LED fixtures that emit this type of light, but the Cree LED fixtures manufactured by Outdoor Lighting Perspectives shine with natural light that is indistinguishable from halogen light. With this natural light, all of the colors of your property will show in their true form, rather than being tainted by old or inferior quality light. With quality LED light from Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Clearwater & Tampa Bay, your home will not only stand out after dark, but it will do so in the most efficient way.
LED fixtures consume remarkably less energy than their halogen counterparts. In fact, by switching to LED lighting, you can consume up to 80% less energy. This translates into energy savings for you and more money in your bank account when it comes time to pay the electric bill. It also helps the environment. By consuming less energy, you reduce your carbon footprint, which is good for our 
environment. LED bulbs also last longer than halogen – 50,000 hours as compared to 2,000-4,000 hours that are typical for halogen.
We have even more cost saving news for you. Your halogen system can be retrofitted to accommodate LED fixtures, so the overall cost of switching to an LED system may be less than you think. The initial cost of the retrofit can be recouped quickly when you think about the price of replacing halogen bulbs based on their useful life versus replacing the LED bulbs that last much longer. Pair this with our Annual Maintenance Plan (AMP) and even the cost of replacement LED bulbs will be covered, in addition to system adjustments, timer adjustments, and repair of any problems if they occur.
So what are you waiting for? LED lighting is beautiful, will save you money, and is better for our world. Call Outdoor Lighting Perspective of Clearwater & Tampa Bay today. We will put the best LED lighting to work for you.
