LED Lighting - No Mercury

LED lighting is the best method for interior home lighting in this day and age. LED, or light-emitting diodes, are devices that produce light when an electrical current passes through them.

LED lights are more versatile than the traditional fluorescent bulbs. They are durable, efficient, and longer-lasting. LED lighting is more efficient in using energy and light. They do not “burn out” or fail like the common fluorescent lighting.

Although LED lighting is initially more expensive than regular lighting, with the long lifetimes and moderate usage of power, you will be saving big in the long run! An LED lighting upgrade can save you money on the energy used in your home, and is also good for the environment. LED lighting does not contribute to the heat buildup in your home.

If you are in Chapel Hill, NC, we here at Carol’s Electric can help you with your landscape lighting, kitchen lighting, your bathroom lighting, or all three! We will come in and inspect your home. We'll help you decide where exactly the best places are to install LED lighting.

LED lighting is not naturally white. Common LED lighting colors are red, green, blue, or amber. We can discuss mixing different LED lighting to get a white hue, or covering it with phosphor material that converts the color of the light. We will discuss what best fits you and your needs.

Whether it be remodeling and replacing your light fixtures to make room for your LED lighting or just replacing your bulbs with LED bulbs, we can help you! No job is too small. We appreciate customers who like to convert to more energy-efficient lighting that can help the environment.

LED lights do not have any mercury in them, so there is no concern when disposing or replacing them.

Another positive thing about LED lighting is that insects are not attracted to the UV-free light! LED lighting does not give off ultraviolet light, which can attract insects. This is a good plus when bugs are trying to escape the outside cold or heat!
