LED is quickly becoming the dominate light bulb in the lighting industry will completely take over the market in the coming five years. LEDs based on economical friendly technologies for the home and business are expanding markets and have attracted more and more attentions for lower electricity bills and ease global warming. What consumers want are light bulbs and lamps that can be installed with no more additional fixtures or transformers. For example, the flood lights, in the other word, the incandescent and halogen lamps, play a significant role in the economical friendly market. They have been used in a wide range of applications for a long time. However, they are also the most inefficient lamps, too. So there’s no doubt that they will be replaced by other new technologies sooner or future.

Recently, many LED lighting manufacturers have designed medium screw base LED bulbs which can replace inefficient floods while utilizing their existing fixtures. Generally, compared with incandescent and halogen floods, LED floods and lighting has the advantage of producing a cool light that release no heat to the space. So it is safe to use the LED floods and there is no risk of touching a burning hot bulb. The cool beam allows users to use flood lighting in more situations than you can with halogen bulbs, including high-end retail lighting, accent/display lighting, and other display environments where a warm or hot light can not be used because it could damage whatever is being illuminated. It is well known that incandescent and halogen bulbs can make your home warmer and therefore potentially making your space more uncomfortable and more expensive to cool. In other words, consumers ave not only on electricity consumption with this type of lighting, they also save on home cooling costs.

More and more people are adopting green lifestyle to help preserve the environment with the awareness that our resources are diminishing. People are beginning to use LED lights for their house because of the substantial savings. LED light bulb have very long life span of average 100000 hours. This means that you can leave the light on for 11 years without having to replace it or can leave it on for only half a day and use it for 22 years. This is important especially if you’re planning to install the lights in a hard-to-reach place. The related integrated circuit is MC3301.
