Light is a crucial element of day-to-day existence, and possessing the correct type of lighting both at home and on the go can mean the difference between safety and darkness. Advances in LED technology have made LED lights the most efficient and dependable in any situation. Here's a guide to choosing the best LED light products for the home, car and the outdoors.
LED Lights for the Home
It's a good idea to keep LED flashlights in multiple areas throughout the home so they'll be handy during power outages or any time you need to illuminate a dark corner. An LED flashlight features a longer battery life than a traditional light, plus you get brighter light from a more compact product, so it's easier to stash in a drawer. Consider also clipping a small LED light on your keychain for help unlocking your door in the dark.
For home improvement projects that require a hands-free light source, an LED headlamp is also a handy light to have around the home. It provides plentiful light without becoming hot during extended use.
Emergency Disaster Kit
Every home needs an emergency or disaster kit with important items such as a portable radio, first aid kit, extra cash, batteries, necessary phone numbers, a flashlight, etc. LED flashlights are great candidates for any home emergency kit, as they will last a long time without needing replacing. Basic tools are also a helpful addition to your emergency kit, and an LED multi-tool offers plenty of utility without taking up a lot of space.
LED Lights for the Car
There are certain items no car should be without: a blanket, water, jumper cables, seatbelt cutter, tire gauge, flares, basic tools and, of course, a flashlight. You can kill several birds with one stone by stowing away an LED multi-tool for vehicles that combines a seatbelt cutter, tire gauge, windshield hammer and LED flashlight. An LED headlamp is another great tool to keep in your car in case you need to change a tire or jump start your car in the dark.
Outdoor Recreation
Whether you're camping, fishing, hiking or hunting, an LED light is a basic survival tool you should never travel without. Because of their compact design, LED flashlights are highly portable, and an LED multi-tool with a small toolkit, compass and light can help you save on packing space. Anglers and hunters may also want to consider an LED headlamp that will allow them to carry gear in both hands, while campers can reduce fire hazards (and eliminate the need for matches) by replacing traditional lanterns with a flameless LED lantern.
LED lights are not only inexpensive, but they offer considerable savings over time. The versatility of LED lighting makes it a helpful tool for just about any situation.
