	Applications \| LED light bulbs compared to incandescent LED light bulbs compared to incandescent
	Light Emitting Diodes are a solid-state lighting technology that uses semiconductor material instead of a filament. As a result, LEDs offer many distinct advantages over incandescent lighting. 90% more power efficient LED bulbs are low-voltage technology with today’s retrofit bulbs typically ranging from less than 1Watt to 7Watts. They are up to 90% more power efficient than other lighting and consume much less power, making them less expensive to operate. Usually, they can replace up to a 40 watt incandescent bulb with the same amount of light intensity. Vibrant, consistent colors Incandescent light bulbs usually use a tinted case or lens to produce color. LEDs are manufactured to a particular color specification. They produce colored light that is richer and more vibrant, with higher light output. LEDs also do not change their color tint when dimmed. Low heat output Incandescent lighting expends 90% of the energy it consumes as heat. Because LEDs generate less heat and are cool to the touch, they can be utilized in more applications. They also reduce the potential for safety risks such as burns and fires. Lower heat output can also reduce air conditioning loads inside buildings. Safe operation LED bulbs are low voltage, making them safer from potential accidents such as fires or those caused by over heating. LEDs also eliminate electrical and other hazards posed by filaments, providing increased safety. Long life LEDs have the longest lifetimes of any lighting technology available on the market. The life of an LED bulb can last 50 times longer with a lifetime of 50,000 hours lifetime, compared to 1000 hours of a standard incandescent bulb. Long life reduces maintenance costs and lowers long-term operating costs. Though initially costing more, this can – often within its first year of service –increase the overall return on investment. Environmentally Friendly In addition to all these advantages, LED Lighting is considered to be Earth-friendly, or “green” lighting. And because the products last longer, there are fewer replacements to litter the environment.
