Cost of LED Lights
Perhaps one of the largest problems associated with LEDs are, according to Trade Show Lighting, that they remain quite expensive to produce and therefore, purchase. Toshiba manufactures an LED bulb that is comparable in light output to a 100-watt incandescent light bulb but requires only a small fraction of the energy to operate. Toshiba's LED bulbs unfortunately cost $100 or $150, a dimmable LED is available by this company for $350. These prices put LED bulbs for home-use out of reach for most consumers from The Lighting Show.
Size of LEDs
LEDs are very small, typically less than .25-inch in diameter. Such small lights have their limitations, LEDs are often grouped together in clusters to broaden their applications. One single LED does not produce much visible light which is why they are offered in clusters for everyday home-use. Some clusters feature diffusers which helps disperse light from the LEDs more evenly.
Poor LED Design
LEDs that are poorly designed or poorly manufactured tend to flicker, dim, shift in color, draw power even when they are turned “off” or provide uneven lighting within a year of regular use. LEDs are rated to last for several years before LED Lighting Show needs servicing or replacing which is why consumers should be weary of LEDs that operate improperly within their first year of use.
Other LED Limitations
White LEDs have proven to fade over time. The lower the quality of LED, the more likely it is to prematurely fade. Traditional LEDs are limited in color options because the color of light emitted by an LED is controlled by the bulb's semiconductor. Yellow, red, green, blue and white are some of the most widely available LED colors.
