Let us illuminate you on what Lennar Nashville is featuring in our new homes.
While featuring several energy efficient products, Lennar Nashville is excited to showcase LED lighting in our new homes. When used properly, LED lighting can be more efficient, durable, and longer lasting than some traditional lighting sources.
A fairly new product, LED lights work when an electrical current passes through a semi-conductor material. This in turn illuminates the tiny light sources called LEDs. Unlike incandescent and fluorescent bulbs that shine light everywhere, LED lights shine in a more direct and specific path. According to EnergyStar.gov, “LED lighting is able to use light and energy more efficiently in many applications. However, it also means that sophisticated engineering is needed to produce an LED light bulb that shines light all around like an incandescent A-shaped bulb.”
The longevity of the LED bulb is also worth mentioning. Incandescent bulbs have a tendency to burn out over time. LED lights instead depreciate in light and shift in color as they end their lifespan. The lifespan of the LED light is approximately 50,000 hours vs 10,000 hours for a CFL light and 1,200 hours for an incandescent bulb. Not only are they more durable, as LED lights become more popular, the price has become more affordable.
LED bulbs are available in a variety of colors. The light temperature, which is measured in Kelvin scale, determines the color of light your bulb will emit. Understanding the color you like and where this falls on the Kelvin scale will insure that you are happy with the bulb you purchase for your home.
We are very excited to showcase this wonderful detail in our new homes. We believe this Everything’s Included® feature is just one of the many offerings that set the Lennar home above all others.
Lennar offers new homes in the Nashville area from the mid $200s. To learn more, call 615-465-4333 or visit lennar.com/nashville.
