What is a LED and why are they becoming so popular?
LEDs or “Light Emitting Diodes” are solid state (no moving parts) electronic devices that emit light when electric current is past through them. Many LEDs have a life span of over 11 years (100,000 hours). That’s approximately 100 to 10,000 times longer than incandescent bulbs. LEDs are more environmentally friendly than incandescent bulbs because they more electric power efficient, save on batteries costs, and don’t burn out or break as easily as flourescent and incandescent bulbs.
