LED stands for “Light-Emitting Diode.” It’s a semiconductor device that emits light when an electric current flows through it. In standard diodes, energy is released in the form of heat. But in LEDs, energy is released in the form of photons. We call this electroluminescence. Therefore, LEDs require low operational voltage.
The LED method of producing light loses far less energy to heat than do other lighting technologies. It’s dramatically more efficient than the vacuum/filament method used in incandescent bulbs — sometimes around 85 percent more efficient; and it’s even about 5 percent more efficient than the CFL’s plasma-tube approach. LEDs do not contain mercury and can be safely recycled.
You could go 20 years without having to change a LED light bulb. LEDs are more stable light sources than incandescent or fluorescent bulbs; and, the difference is startling. A typical incandescent bulb lasts about 750 hours; some LED bulbs last up to 50,000 hours; and, fixtures can last 100,000 plus hours.
