LED Lights are destined to be the lighting of the future.

With a high light output and a low energy input, they are not only efficient in energy consumption but also in light quality and durability.
Most LED lights last up to 50,000 hours, while most incandescent bulbs burn out in less than a year. LEDs' slower burnout rate allows for longer colour consistency throughout the life of the fixture. Colour matching across a group of lighting fixtures reduces eyestrain, and slower burnout rates means fixtures will retain colour consistency for a longer period of time.

Heat:

LED light fixtures stay relatively cool (around room temperature) even when turned on for long periods of time. Fluorescent lamps can reach temperatures of 180F degrees, and halogen and incandescent lights can reach 200F degrees. Besides safety issues that arise from touching hot bulbs, these temperatures can also create hot spots and unsanitary conditions in places like delis and grocery stores where raw meat is stored.

UV Emissions:

LEDs do not emit UV radiation, and are, thus, safe for desktop, close-proximity applications. Fluorescent bulbs emit UV radiation, which can cause premature aging and skin cancer, as well as eyestrain and headaches. A study published in the August, 2008 issue of Oxford University Press found, the UV emissions from a significant percentage of the tested CFLs…may result in foreseeable overexposure of the skin when these lamps are used in desk or task lighting applications.

Mercury:

LED's do not contain mercury, and so can be disposed of safely and easily. Mercury is an extremely dangerous and toxic substance that exists in most kinds of bulbs, incandescent and fluorescent except for LEDs. The presence of mercury makes disposing of other bulbs dangerous and time consuming.

Zero interference:

LEDs do not use ballasts which produce harmonic noise—or “hum.” LEDs do not produce electro-magnetic interference.

How long is 50,000 hours?

Based on hours of operation per day, here's what 50,000 hours works out to:

24 hours a day 5.7 years
18 hours per day 7.4 years
12 hours per day 11.4 years
8 hours per day 17.1 years
