Whether you're running a club, theater stage or trade show exhibit, lighting probably plays a critical role in your operations. Maximizing the potential of your lighting design is important not only to improve their benefit in your business but also minimize related expenses and extend the value of your lights. Many people find that, as they upgrade or install a gobo image projector, switching to LED light bulbs provides a significant improvement.
LED bulbs offer many benefits, including:
- Longer life – LED projector parts have a much longer average lifespan than traditional bulbs, helping you spend less money over time on your lighting and gobo needs. The longer lasting bulbs with typically 30,000 to 50,000 hours bulb life won't need to be exchanged over the lifetime of the projector, this means less maintenance overall.
- Brighter light – Particularly important for projecting a gobo design, LEDs are much brighter than other light bulbs of the same wattage, offering more clarity and even light distribution in your image and ensuring it is easily seen, even in a trade show hall where there are many other lights to distract attendees.
- Less heat – LED bulbs run at a lower temperature than traditional lights, which improves their safety and makes running a light booth far more comfortable for the technician and the people on the stage. This can have a secondary effect of lowering your air conditioning bill in the summer as well, as there will be less ambient heat created.
- Less wattage – LED bulbs use less wattage and therefore reduce your energy bill. Especially in larger installations this amounts to considerable savings. Less wattage also allows you to run more lights per electrical circuit, which can dramatically simplify your setup. Rather than having to use three or more electrical circuits, you will now be fine with a single outlet.
