Light emitting diodes or LED lights are a great invention
which has changed the way we thought about light
bulbs. Though they are not a new invention! You
might remember those remote control toy cars or
those Christmas decoration lights; well they both used
LED lights, though on a small scale.
LED light bulbs are not referred to as the future of
lighting for nothing! These bulbs have revolutionised
home lighting forever. Compare this to your regular
incandescent or fluorescent bulbs, LEDs offer superb
benefits over them! Plus, LEDs are green that means
they help in saving the planet!

So how beneficial are LED lights compared to
regular or conventional bulbs? Let's see the huge
benefits that they offer:

3.
• Longevity: How long do incandescent and fluorescent bulbs
last on an average? Two months? Three months? At best,
regular bulbs can last a maximum of six months. But you
might think six months is a long time for a bulb to last!
Hold on to your horses, because an LED bulb can last
anything between ten to fifteen years! Yes, more than a
decade.

4.
• Efficiency: LED lights are amazingly efficient! A regular bulb
only converts 10% of the electricity into light. So in the end
you end up paying for electricity that's wasted. LED bulbs on
the other hand are very efficient, converting 90% of the
electricity they consume into light!

5.
• Eco Friendly: Since LED bulbs do not contain any harmful
elements like Mercury, they are eco friendly and help in
saving our planet. Incandescent and fluorescent bulbs on
the other hand contain Mercury and are very harmful for
our environment.

6.
• Minimises Fire Hazard: LED lights emit cold light because
unlike conventional bulbs which use electricity to convert
heat into light, LEDs use electricity to stir up electrons
which then produce light! So that means cooler
temperatures and a minimum risk of fire.
• Flexible: LED bulbs have a flexible design which means they
can be combined into any shape for producing efficient
lighting. Also, you can easily use it for mood lighting too!
