What Are the Benefits of LED Recessed Lighting?

LED recessed lighting is an excellent alternative to incandescent light bulbs. LEDs use less energy than their old incandescent counterparts, which means lower energy bills. They also last longer than other types of lighting, with the average LED light lasting 11 years (for twelve hours a day). An added benefit of LED downlights is they don't produce harmful materials – unlike incandescent and fluorescent tubes, which contain mercury and must be disposed of properly.
