Why LED Lighting Is the Best Choice for Home Renovations in 2025 | Nothing But LEDs


The Growing Role of LED Lighting in Modern Home Renovations

If you’re renovating your home in 2025, there’s one upgrade that offers instant energy savings, long-term cost benefits, and a huge aesthetic impact — switching to LED lighting. At Nothing But LEDs (NBL), we specialize in commercial-grade LED lighting that’s just as perfect for homeowners who want unmatched quality, reliability, and efficiency in their renovation projects.

Why Homeowners Are Switching to LEDs in 2025

Increased Energy Costs Driving Demand

Electricity rates in the U.S. continue to climb, and homeowners are looking for ways to cut costs without sacrificing comfort or style. LED lighting consumes up to 80% less energy than traditional incandescent or halogen lights, meaning lower utility bills every month.

Average Savings Per Year After LED Installation:
According to recent U.S. Department of Energy data, the average household can save $225+ annually by upgrading to LEDs. Multiply that over 10–15 years, and you’ll see why this is one of the smartest renovation investments you can make.

Advantages of LED Lighting for Home Renovation Projects

Energy Efficiency and Lower Utility Bills

NBL’s commercial-grade LEDs are designed to deliver high lumens per watt, giving you maximum brightness with minimal energy use. For example, our LED panel lights can replace fluorescent troffers while using 50–70% less electricity.

How LEDs Cut Electricity Usage by 50–80%

Unlike halogen or CFL bulbs, LEDs convert most of their energy into light — not heat. That means more illumination per watt and less wasted energy.

NBL’s DLC Premium Certified Products for Maximum Rebates

Many of our LEDs, such as our dimmable troffers and wall packs, are DLC Premium Certified, which can qualify you for local utility rebates and tax incentives.

Longevity and Reduced Maintenance

Home renovations are about building for the future, and with NBL LEDs, you get fixtures rated for 50,000+ hours.

How Fewer Replacements Save Time and Money

A typical halogen bulb might last 2,000 hours. With LEDs lasting 25 times longer, you won’t need to climb a ladder to change bulbs every year — saving both time and maintenance costs.

Warranty and Support from Nothing But LEDs

Every product you buy from NBL comes with a 5–10 year warranty and direct U.S.-based support to give you peace of mind.


Versatility in Design and Applications

Whether you need sleek downlights for your kitchen, bright panels for your home office, or durable exterior wall packs for security, NBL has a solution.

How to Choose the Right LED Lighting for Your Renovation

Determining the Correct Lumen Output per Room

Use IES foot-candle guidelines to match lumen output to room function:

  • Bedrooms: 20 lumens/sq ft
  • Living rooms: 30 lumens/sq ft
  • Kitchens: 50 lumens/sq ft



Selecting the Right Color Temperature

  • Warm White (2700K–3000K): Cozy spaces like bedrooms.
  • Neutral White (3500K–4000K): Kitchens, dining areas.
  • Cool White (5000K): Home offices, garages.

Our adjustable CCT options, such as the LED troffers series, let you change color temperatures as needed.


Maximizing Your Investment with Rebates and Incentives

Many U.S. states offer rebates for Energy Star or DLC Premium Certified LED installations.

How to Apply for Rebates

Check your local utility’s website or visit the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency  to find programs.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Buying LEDs for Renovations

  1. Choosing the Wrong Lumen Output — leads to either over-lighting or dim spaces.
  2. Ignoring Fixture Compatibility — ensure retrofits fit your existing fixtures.
  3. Buying Non-Certified Products — may result in poor quality and no rebate eligibility.
