While it might be cheaper to install LED bulbs<\/a>, integrated-LED fixtures have durability and efficiency advantages. Therefore, they might be more economical in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the benefits don’t end there! We will look at what these light fixtures have to offer, as well as how you can incorporate them into your home. Let’s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n

What Are Integrated LED Light Fixtures?<\/h2>\n\n\n

Integrated LED lights are complete fixtures with LED arrays built into the units. These include chandeliers, spotlights, lamps, etc. Manufacturers are increasingly moving towards making and selling this integrated design for three reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, integration gives them more control over the color, lumen output<\/a>, and color temperature of the fixture, which helps with marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second, integrated-LED fixtures usually have a longer lifespan than regular LED bulbs. For instance, a typical LED bulb can operate for roughly 3,000 hours, while a bulb light fixture can have a 50,000-hour lifespan. These systems have better heat dissipation mechanisms that control the LED module’s temperature, which increases their service life by a wide margin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, integrated LED bulbs can be slightly more energy efficient than their regular LED counterparts.<\/p>\n\n\n

What Types of Integrated LED Light Fixtures are Available?<\/h2>\n\n\n

There are multiple LED integrated fixture types in the market, but the most popular ones include the following.<\/p>\n\n\n

Standard<\/h3>\n\n\n

Recessed lights are fixtures installed into an opening in the ceiling. They almost sit flush with the surface and shine directly downward.<\/p>\n\n\n

Flood<\/h3>\n\n\n

Floodlights<\/a> are usually for outdoor applications to illuminate large areas. They are the opposite of spotlights.<\/p>\n\n\n

Globe<\/h3>\n\n\n

Globe lights are large, round light fixtures used for decorative purposes, usually in the hospitality industry. These include restaurants, bars, hotels, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
