Without a filament to break or 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 bulbs and twenty times longer than incandescent light bulbs.

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

The LED light can be made in a vast array of colors without the use of extra filters, which brings down production costs. They also provide a truer, brighter color than a filtered bulb.

The days of humming bulbs came to an end with the creation of LEDs, so there’s no need to lose sanity listening to the thrum, tick, or ping of other light bulbs.

With so little energy lost to heat and so little energy used overall, LED light bulbs to 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.

LEDs 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.

Most Light source turn color when dimmed, while LED light bulbs retain their true colors.

Thanks to the wide array of colors and shapes LEDs be made to replace most any light source. Their diminutive size and power-sipping nature also open up a world of possibility, from infrared remote control lights to ultra-light headlamps.

Lighting up to their full brightness in microseconds, LEDs are a safer choice when reaction time is a factor, like when that car in the fast lane slams on the brakes.

LED light 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.
