Integrated LED lighting is widely heralded as the future of lighting technology. But what does this really mean? In this post, we’ll be looking at the Astro integrated LED lighting series. And discussing its most notable benefits. From enhanced sustainability to more adaptive designs.
What Are the Key Benefits of Using Integrated LED Light Fittings
The more sustainable option
LED lighting has become known as a sustainable option in recent years. Partly because lights like the Oslo use considerably less energy. And partly because LED light bulbs last considerably longer than the alternative lighting forms – with some brands claiming that their solutions last up to 30,000 hours. That’s almost three and a half years of continuous use, which can equate to up to 20 years use in a typical home. While this has, until recently, been offset by the fact that bulbs haven’t been replaceable, many companies are now working on producing models that allow spent bulbs to be replaced. Or, like Astro, are focussing on the creation of ‘circular life’ policies, where product lifespan is not only strengthened, but where customers are encouraged to ‘reuse, repair, and recycle’ lighting through the manufacturer.
Lighting that changes with your needs
One of the major advantages of using integrated LED lights like the Astro Leros is that they are hugely adaptable. Compatible with most household dimmer switches, LED lighting is almost uniquely adjustable. Seamlessly dimming and changing to suit your mood and the moment.
Enhanced design potential
While we’re all used to having lights in a variety of forms – pendant, chandelier, flush, and recessed – integrated LED lighting has the potential to move away from the norm. The Astra Borgo trimless light is only a subtle variation on the familiar aesthetic, but with its slimline angular form, it is a variation. And with integrated LEDs, the design potential is almost limitless. Allowing everyday home lighting to take on the guise of art. Creating interest, as well as functional light and ambience.
Lighting with minimal maintenance
For some people, changing a lightbulb is hardly considered maintenance. But if you live in a house with particularly high ceilings, or you have mobility issues, the simple act of changing a light bulb can be hugely difficult. Integrated LED lighting solutions, like the Astro Versailles, don’t carry that concern. It doesn’t matter if they’re wall lights, desk lamps, or ceiling lights, those with integrated LEDs will last for multiple years without maintenance of any kind.
LEDs have improved heat dissipation
Heat dissipation probably isn’t the primary concern of most people shopping for lights. But it is actually an important consideration. Partly because of the safety implications. And partly because of the impact that lighting can have on the ambient temperature of a room. When you have a room particularly prone to temperature fluctuations, such as the kitchen or bathroom, having lights like the Minima Round that don’t emit much heat, can be a significant advantage.
Integrated LED lighting is growing in popularity. Because it is simple, efficient, sustainable, and appealing. And while it may be some years before we see these lights dominate the marketplace, there will come a time when they do.
