LED light bulbs last longer.
Without a filament to break or gas to burn out, LED light bulbs can last for over 50,000 hours without showing their age. This lifespan is five times that of typical fluorescent or metal halide bulbs and twenty times longer than incandescent light bulbs.
They are energy efficient.
An incandescent light bulb loses around 90 percent of its energy to heat, leaving only the last 10 percent for light. LED light bulbs turn this around, giving 90 percent lighting and only 10 percent heat.
LEDs are more colorful.
LED light bulbs can be made in a vast array of colors without the use of extra filters, which brings down production costs. They also provide a vibrant, true to color tone than a filtered bulb.
LED light bulbs work in silence.
The days of humming bulbs came to an end with the creation of LED lights, so there’s no need to lose sanity listening to the thrum, tick, or ping of other light bulbs.
They are incredibly safe.
With so little energy lost to heat and so little energy used overall, LED light bulbs run cool, which means no burnt fingers or burnt down houses. They are extremely durable thanks to their solid-state construction, so there’s no broken glass to deal with, either.
LED light bulbs are focused.
LED lights can be made to focus without the use of extra reflectors or lenses, which means less bulk and lower cost for the same beam of light.
They are the best for dimming.
Incandescent bulbs turn yellow when dimmed, while LED light bulbs retain their true colors.
LEDs are versatile.
Thanks to the wide array of colors and shapes LEDs be made to replace most any light bulb. Their diminutive size and power-sipping nature also open up a world of possibility, from infrared remote control lights to ultra-light headlamps.
LED light bulbs bring light quickly.
Lighting up to their full brightness in microseconds, LED lights are a safer choice when reaction time is a factor, like when that car in the fast lane slams on the brakes.
They promise a brighter future.
LED light bulbs don’t contain mercury, like compact fluorescent bulbs do. Combining that with the fact that they outlast their energy efficient cousins, makes the choice to go LED clear as day.
