Lighting experts Rubber Monkey on the rising popularity of LED

June 22, 2018 – With LED nowadays being far more popular around the world than traditional incandescent and compact fluorescent lighting, audio-visual and electronics supplier Rubber Monkey, who offer a large range of lighting solutions including many LED options, have provided insight on the reasons why it’s so popular – particularly for customers buying for studios, theatres, or other stages.

The advantages of LED lighting that are making it so much more popular than other forms of lighting are firstly based in the energy efficiency of LED – an LED light uses around 80 percent less energy to get the same bright output. Other important advantages include LED’s longer lifetime which makes it a more cost effective option in the long run, its environmental friendliness and lack of toxic materials, and the wide range of colour options that you can get with LED lighting. All these reasons have combined to make LED the most popular form of lighting, especially when it comes to choosing lighting for studios, theatres, and other stages.

For these kinds of customers who often have a limited budget, the long-term cost effectiveness is the main drawcard of LED lighting, regardless of the price which is often higher than traditional lighting alternatives. The lower level of heat produced and low voltages of LEDs are also safer, which is important in the working environments of studios and theatres where minimising risk is important. LEDs are also perfect as photography lighting for these reasons, as well as the versatility of colours that can be achieved.

Anyone looking for a studio, stage or theatre lighting supplier who can provide a range of LED lighting from brands such as Aputure, Dracast, Chauvet, Litepanels, and Cameo, as well as other products such as camera bags and microphones, can visit Rubber Monkey online at www.rubbermonkey.co.nz today, and take the first step towards finding the perfect lighting solution to brighten up their business!
