7 Benefits of LED Stage and House of Worship Lighting

We’ve come a long way since the days of limited LEDDefinition:
LED (Light-Emitting Diode): A semiconductor light generator used in displays, television, pointers and for general illumination. It is a low-power replacement for incandescent lamps. color choices and high expense. The cost of LED lighting keeps coming down, but it still hasn’t reached parity with traditional lighting. Or has it? There are more factors to consider than just the sticker price, so let’s investigate whether any long-term savings make up for a higher initial cost.

1. Ruggedness. Impact resistance isn’t that crucial, given that most lights are set and forget. But still, packing, unpacking, handling, and the like can create impacts that would kill a halogen lamp, yet not affect LED lights. Also for outdoor applications, LEDs are more rugged, and can even withstand exposure to weather (heat, cold, moisture, etc.).
2. Ecologically sound. Of course, nothing is totally green, because of manufacturing issues, shipping, and the like. But in addition to lower power consumption, LED lights convert about 80% of their energy to light. Incandescent light bulbs are typically the opposite—only 20% of their energy is converted to light. Furthermore, LED lights have recyclable materials, contain no mercury or other heavy metals, don’t generate ultra-violet or infraredDefinition:

3. No dimmer packs. Your DMX controllerDefinition:

   can take care of all the light control you need. What’s more, dimming LEDs reduces their power consumption and extends their life. Compare this with metal halide-based lights, which become less efficient when dimmed (which assumes the particular bulb even allows for dimming).
4. Better directionality. LEDs disperse light over 180 degrees, whereas traditional lights disperse light over 360 degrees. Making traditional lights directional requires directing or reflecting the light, which in the process, also reduces efficiency and requires accessories that LEDs often don’t need.

The handwriting is on the wall: LED lights will continue to improve performance and offer lower prices. At some point in the future, LEDs will be the only logical choice for all applications, from residential, to entertainment, to commercial.

However, we’re not quite there yet in terms of the initial cost. Converting an incandescent-based lighting environment in a theater, house of worship, or club to all-LED operation is not a trivial expense, but it’s important to consider the long-term ramifications. This kind of conversion is more like an investment in ongoing savings where eventually, the switchover to LED lighting will pay for itself, and then end up saving you money.

If you wait, you’ll be replacing incandescent or other bulb types, drawing more current, generating more heat, and running a less efficient system. Only you can make that decision, but the bottom line is that LEDs are here to stay—and they’ve become a solution not just for tomorrow, but for today.
