Government Initiatives Boost Asia-Pacific-Based LED Lighting 

The government initiatives for energy efficiency in the region contribute to the APAC LED lighting industry growth. Several government projects are undergoing to encourage energy efficiency in India. It includes UJALA, Street Light National Programme, and others. SNLP focuses on replacing the 35 million traditional lights with [**LED lights**](https://www.psmarketresearch.com/market-analysis/apac-led-lighting-market).

Presently, the most energy-efficient and rapidly-developing lighting technology is a light-emitting diode or LED. The lifespan of quality LED light bulbs is longer. They are more durable and provide a better quality of light compared to other types of lighting.

LED has the potential to transform the future of lighting. Residential LEDs, more specifically ENERGY STAR-rated products, consume at least 75% lesser energy and have 25 times longer periods compare to incandescent lighting. 

How Does LED Better Than Other Lighting Types?

Light Source: The size of the LED is similar to the pepper fleck, and it can emit light in various colors. Sometimes, a mix of green, red, and blue LEDs is used to develop white light.

Direction: LEDs emit light in a specific direction, mitigating the requirement for reflectors and diffusers for trapping the light. It thus, makes LEDs more efficient in numerous ways, including recessed downlights, and task lighting. In the other types of lighting, the light needs to be reflected in the desired direction, and more than 50% of the light could not leave the fixture.

Heat: LEDs release very less heat. While, incandescent bulbs emit 90% of the energy as heat, and CFLs release around 80% of the energy as heat.

Lifetime: LED lighting products usually last much longer compared to other lighting types. The life span of an LED bulb is 3 to 5 times longer compared to the CFL and 30 times longer than the incandescent bulb.

LED lighting is offered in a variety of home and industrial products. The advancement in LED technology has contributed to rising product availability, enhanced manufacturing efficiency, and low cost.

We have mentioned below widely used LED products:
 
 LED lighting can be found in a variety of home and industrial products. The rapid advancement in LED technology has improved product availability, enhanced manufacturing efficiency, and reduced prices. 

Industrial and Commercial Lighting

LEDs are ideal for industrial usage due to their high efficiency and directional nature. They are increasingly common in parking garage lighting, street lights, outdoor area lighting, walkway, modular lighting, refrigerated case lighting, and task lighting.

Under-Cabinet Lighting 
These LEDs are small and directional, as they are ideal for lighting tight spaces, including countertops for cooking and reading recipes. Since there can be a difference in light color and directionality, it is crucial to compare the products to get the best fixture according to the space.

Recessed Downlights

Recessed downlights are widely used in hallways, bathrooms, residential kitchens, and a number of commercial and office settings. DOE accounts for more than 600 million recessed downlights installed in the residential and commercial spaces of the U.S.

Therefore, the massive efficiency of the LED with lesser consumption of energy compared to CFLs and other types of lighting boosts their demand.
