Led Light Bars

Do you want to make your car lighting or kitchen lighting to look different? Then it may be time to look into Led Light Bars. They are available in an assortment of colors such as blue, red, white, green and amber. You can easily mount them either inside or outside your car.

Why LED?
The reason these LED light bars have increased in popularity is due to the benefits of LED lighting. So what is LED? LED is an abbreviation for light emitting diode. It is electro-luminescence or when a semiconductor emits light when it receives an electrical current. These LED’s are used in cars, homes, offices and many electronic products. Unlike light bulbs LED’s do not break with use, they are very efficient and have a long durability rating.

If you want to add extra lights to your truck, car, home or office you can now use hassle-free LED bars; LED light bars are easy to install and are longer lasting than conventional light sources. You no longer need to use light bulbs or halogen lights to get the high-quality lighting provided by LED. A LED light can provide lighting for up to 50,000 hours versus halogen light bulbs, which can last only up to 5,000 hours. And that’s quite a big difference as far as your lighting budget goes!

An incandescent light relies on heat to make it function, but LED’s do not have a filament, so they use less heat and are much more durable and solid, and that’s what makes the LED so popular these days. Less energy is wasted, and your electricity bills will be noticeably different. LED provides an efficiency of about 80% using less electricity to produce light versus the light bulb which operates at an efficiency level of about 20%. LED also uses less wattage (each light bar uses about 2 to 3 watts per bulb) and less battery use.

Types of LED
There are many types of light bars starting at 4 inches and all the way up to 50 inches. A smaller width light is used in a bumper or the grill area of a truck. Larger LED lights are better to be mounted on a roof, but you may need a bracket to mount it or have a professional installer help you.

Some LED lights have bars with the spot or floodlight beams that can illuminate a road or pathway. A floodlight can be used for wider areas. You can also special order a combination of flood and spot LED lights. The covers for these LED light bars come in different colors. In a cold and snowy state or in a location where there is often a lot of smog an amber light cover is the most suitable color to use for better visibility. Make sure you always check with your DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) office to comply with the type of Led light bar to use on your vehicle. IF the LED light is too bright, it may impair oncoming traffic vision and should be used with caution.

Other Uses
There are LED lights that are ideal for illuminating walls, and signs, as well as store fronts and outdoor office spaces, are lit using waterproof LED kits.

There are LED lights that fit nicely under cabinets, in dresser areas and can be surface mounted for kitchens and ceilings.
