The technological growth spurt we’ve been seeing in the home appliance market is paving the way for some exciting and eco-friendly new options for your home. Timeless Designs would like to encourage you to stop in and learn about the new trends in home appliances and fixtures. The biggest change they have been seeing has been the shift towards LED lighting. Here are some of the benefits of LED over traditional lighting:

• Low energy consumption – retrofit bulbs range from 0.83 to 7.3 Watts
• Long service life – LED bulbs can last up to 50,000 hours
• Durable – LED bulbs are resistant to thermal and vibrational shocks and turn on instantly from -40C° to 185C°, making them ideal for applications subject to frequent on-off cycling, such as garages and basements
• Directional distribution of light – good for interior task lighting
• No infrared or ultraviolet radiation – excellent for outdoor use because UV light attracts bugs
• Safety and environmentally conscious – LEDs contain no mercury and remain cool to the touch
• Fully dimmable – LEDs do not change their color tint when dimmed unlike incandescent lamps that turn yellow
• No frequency interference – no ballast to interfere with radio and television signals
• Range of color – LEDs can be manufactured produce all colors of the spectrum without filters, they can also produce white light in a variety of color temperatures
