When it comes to LED light bulbs, everyone thinks they know everything. While this type of light bulb has grown in popularity over the last couple of years, there are hundreds of myths surrounding them and today, Mr. Electric of Fort Worth is going to break these myths down.
Let’s separate fact from fiction…
The guys were super nice, I loved that they did the work immediately. Also after having a discussion with them about the static electricity from a lightenimg strike we had and it fried everything they suggested a surge protector to keep that from happening again. So we did that.
Scheduled an appointment with Mr Electric of Fort Worth and received a call they were able to show up early and had Dylan show up on time stocked with a full truck. He was able to diagnosis the issue quickly and restore my power to a few plugs that were causing the breakers to trip continuously. Dylan was very knowledgable, clearly explained the cause and how he would fix the issue, and addressed all concerns that we had. He was replaced two breakers and installed 2 new outlets along with diagnosing the problem in about an hour. Very quick and so far seems to have resolved our electrical issue. Would definitely recommend Mr Electric of Fort Worth!
Dylan was so nice and always on time. Very qualified and explained everything he needed to do in a way I understood. My older house required an outside panel so I had a lot of work but Dylan and his helper worked together very well and finished on time so I was not out of power more than needed. Everything looked and worked great when done. I don't know how he was able to replace the cracked power pole and wiring on my roof so quickly and beautifully. I am very, very impressed with his skill level and would request him for any future work. The company is very well organized and office contact was a pleasure to work with(which is rare since these positions are usually underpaid)so reward her well, she is the "door" to your organization. She and Dylan sealed my deal!
Cody was professional, knowledgeable, and was able to provide me with a quick diagnosis pertaining to a wiring issue in one of my rooms. He gave me the price for the repair/modification and fixed the issue all in less than an hour. Thanks Cody!
1. They last forever
The first myth we want to debunk is that LED light bulbs will last you forever. Like any kind of light bulb, LED light bulbs do fade and get dimmer over time. Depending on where you use them, how much you use them, and how well-designed your lighting fixture is, a LED light bulb can last on average of 6 years or up to 50,000 hours of light. If you are running them non-stop, it’s proven that they will last you 2x longer than a regular fluorescent or incandescent light bulb would.
2. They contain mercury
We provide reliable, professional electrical services backed by licensed electricians and upfront pricing. Our team is committed to safety, quality workmanship, and on-time service for every job. With trusted local expertise and customer-first care, we deliver solutions you can count on.
This is one we hear a lot – do LED light bulbs contain mercury? We have done our fair share of research here at Mr. Electric of Fort Worth, and we are here to tell you that LED light bulbs DO NOT contain mercury. Not only do they not contain mercury, but they also don’t generate nearly as much heat meaning they don’t produce nearly as much UV radiation.
3. They aren’t able to dim
Nope – also wrong. LED light bulbs are easily dimmable to give you the perfect amount of light all the time. The only thing with dimming LED lights is you will have to purchase one that says ‘dimmable’ that is compatible with a traditional dimmer.
4. They don’t work in high-temperature environments
Properly designed LED light bulbs can function and work in any temperature you put them in. They perform the same in extreme heat as they do in extreme cold. Choose LED light bulbs that are designed to adapt to their environment – regardless of what kind of climate you are in.
5. They are expensive
While the cost of replacing all your light bulbs with LED light bulbs may seem expensive, if you spread the cost out over time, it is significantly less. LED light bulbs have a much longer lifespan, meaning you won’t have to buy them as often as you would a regular fluorescent or incandescent light bulb. Not only that but LED light bulbs use far less energy, so they will save you on monthly costs – making them the more cost-effective option.
It’s Time to Switch to LED
Local electricians at Mr. Electric of Fort Worth can’t even count the number of times they’ve been asked about LED light bulbs and if they are the better option – their answers are always yes, they are the better option.
If you’re looking to upgrade your old light bulbs to LED ones, give us a call! We offer a wide variety of electrical services to ensure your home or business isn’t left in the dark!
