What are LEDs?

Light emitting diodes, commonly called LEDs is an electronic light source.  They are tiny light bulbs that easily fit into an electrical circuit.  They do not have a filament that will burn out and they do not get especially hot.  They last just as long as a standard transistor. 

Why should I chose LED lighting?

LEDs present many advantages over traditional light sources, including lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, improved robustness, smaller size and faster switching.  Applications of LEDs are diverse.  The light bulbs burn very cool, while incandescent bulbs emit 98% of their energy as heat.  Much more band for the buck.  These lights can last from 50,000 to 100,000 hours.  Incandescent light bulbs typically last around 1,000 hours and fluorescents are good for roughly 10,000 hours.  LED lights have no fragile filament to contend with and no fragile tube.  They are resistant to heatm cold and shock.
