Something about LED Spotlights

LED bulbs and lights can offer more light than the original fluorescent lights while using less power. Though LED lights offer many advantages, the technology needs improvements to use 12V DC light bulbs for all applications. The LED lights are particularly suited to renewable energy systems and the LED bulbs can run directly off the power produced from solar cells or a wind turbine.

                      

Current

The 12 VDC LED light is powered by direct current (DC).Though DC is not used in every house, it is used in cars and solar power systems.

Voltage

This is a low voltage light bulb as it uses 12 Volts. This is the amount of voltage produced by a solar battery, so the bulb can be connected directly to the solar system. The light bulb then operates perfectly with this amount of power. Converting energy from the solar DC battery to an alternating current (AC) requires enough power to burn 50 of these 12 VDC light bulbs. Therefore, using 12V DC light bulbs with a solar or wind energy system is efficient.

Directional Light

We use LED lights as spotlights because the created light is bright but is directional. Therefore, these bulbs are not recommended for home use where general light diffused in all directions is desired. The LED light bulb does work well as spotlights, flashlight bulbs and car headlights.

Advantages

LED spotlight has a much longer life cycle and it is more energy efficient and will turn on instantly. Of course, you do not need to wait for the bulb to warm up and reach full power. LED bulbs are also less likely to break and they are not affected by frequently being turned on or off.

Price

The prices of the LED spotlights now are not so expensive and they just cost around 6 dollars on mb while fluorescent bulbs cost between $2 to $4.
