The Dark Side of LED Lights: A Growing Problem

LED lighting has become increasingly popular, accounting for 50% of global lighting sales. While LEDs are more energy-efficient, the total energy consumed by lighting is still rising due to increased installation. Residential properties have adopted LEDs more quickly than commercial buildings, but government policies and smart systems could encourage businesses to switch. The efficiency of LEDs continues to improve, with the potential to double within the next 20 years. However, concerns remain about the health effects of blue light emitted by LEDs. Despite the upfront cost, businesses can achieve significant financial savings by switching to LED lighting.
