Let's talk LED lights! LED lights have risen to the top of the list for must haves in our normal every day life. Everything that we read indicates that we should purchase LED lights for our homes and offices, but do we honestly understand why? LED lights are leading the way, literally. I want to go into detail on why these are so great for not only our homes, but our Golf Carts! Yeah, that's right, I said it.. LED head lights on our Golf Carts are definitely a huge plus! Let's get this started: 

  • Energy Efficient: The estimated energy efficiency of an LED bulb is 80%-90% greater than the traditional light bulbs that most are accustomed to. So, in other words this means that 80% of the electrical energy that is produced is now converted into light! How neat is this? LED lights operate more efficiently, so they don't pull as much from your battery pack. Listen to this big key factor, since the LED lights are more efficient and pull less from the battery, this means they aid in preserving the life span on your batteries, that may end up saving you some money in the long run! 
  • Durability: LEDs are extremely durable, they are built with sturdy components that are highly rugged. LEDs are resistant to shock, vibrations, and even impact, this makes them the perfect match for golf carts. 
  • Resistance to Temperature Fluctuation: Low temperatures may cause issues with operation and present a challenge with standard light bulbs. With below freezing temperatures coming up, LEDs are ideal for operation. These lights function properly in just about any temperature setting! 
  • Environmentally Friendly: Another interesting fact about LED light bulbs are that they are free of toxic chemicals. LEDs are also 100% recyclable, this allows you to reduce your carbon footprint. In standard light bulbs you can find that they contain toxic materials such as mercury, which is extremely dangerous to our environment! Who knew that making a simple change from standard to LED would help our environment??
  • Longevity: One more reason to make the switch from standard to LED is that they don't stop working and burn out like a standard bulb. LED bulbs and diodes have an outstanding operational lifetime expectancy of up to 100,000 hours, which typically translates into 11 years of continuous operation. If you decide to make the switch you will definitely not regret it, you may never have to change the bulbs again!

Even though LED golf cart light kits are a bit more pricey compared to traditional light kits, they are made with durability, longevity, and energy efficiency in mind. Next time you catch yourself wondering what the next upgrade you will make on your cart, choosing an LED light kit is one of the first upgrades I would recommend making!
