Submersible LED lights are the new standard in fountain lighting design. LED (Light Emitting Diode) technology has been around a while, but has become more popular lately due to the modern emphasis on green appliances and energy-efficient electronics. LEDs are slowly replacing incandescent bulbs, which can be inefficient for most lighting needs. Like CFT bulbs, LED bulbs cost more up front, but lasts longer. Submersible LED lights offer a number of advantages. Incandescent bulbs usually run from 300 to 500 watts, while LED bulbs use as little as 12 watts, consuming less energy. And they can instantly change the mood of your fountain with a variety of lighting patterns. LED lights are perfect for night viewing which is nice during the winter when the days are shorter and it gets dark much earlier. Most importantly they use less electricity, you’ll save on energy bills when you use LEDs. Any extra cost upfront is gained back over time due to the longer life of the bulb and lower energy use. Due to their current popularity, the price for LEDs bulbs has dropped considerably.
