When something has integrated LED\ntechnology it means that the LEDs are fixed and cannot be easily removed. LEDs\nare largely considered to be the future of lighting so they\u2019re often integrated\ninto modern lights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, many consumers are plagued by fears of longevity and their light becoming redundant once the LED module runs out. Here we lay out the pros and cons so you can decide if integrated LEDs are right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CREATIVE FREEDOM<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Integrated LEDs can allow for more creative designs. In recent years LEDs have advanced to the extent that they are flatter, smaller and more pliable than ever before. This technological leap has liberated designers and allowed them to explore lighting like never before. Designs such as the Ribbon Pendant Light<\/a><\/span> and Michael Anastassiades\u2019 Arrangement series<\/a><\/span> are perfect examples.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

AN INTEGRATED LED HAS AN EXPIRATION DATE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Integrated LEDs pendants will need to be replaced when the light stops working. However, with the increased use of LEDs, brands have begun offering replacement modules. For example, Tom Dixon\u2019s LEDs are designed to be replaceable and Heal\u2019s offers a five-year guarantee on all own-brand integrated LEDs<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

LEDS LAST LONGER<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

LEDs last longer than standard bulbs and make an excellent choice over incandescent bulbs. According to DM Lights<\/a>, the average LED module can last for up to 30,000 hours. This means that if you use your light for five hours every day it can last for up to 16 years. It is only after this time that your LED module will need replacing, giving it a very long lifespan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

LEDS USE LESS ENERGY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

LEDs are renowned as a low-energy alternative to traditional halogen bulbs. Because they use less energy they are better for the planet and also more cost effective. As of 2018, the EU banned importing new energy-wasting halogen bulbs so it could be that in the coming years we see them less in our homes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

HOW SUSTAINABLE IS IT REALLY?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes LEDs use less energy, but how sustainable is something that may need chucking away at the end of its lifecycle? With more and more brands offering replacement modules this is gradually becoming less of a concern. However, it\u2019s always best to check with the supplier if replacements are available.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A MORE VERSATILE GLOW<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lighting can really make or break a room and LED technology will definitely help. These state-of-the-art modules are often compatible with dimmer switches so you can change the room\u2019s ambience to suit you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
