- LED light bulbs emit very little heat. This saves a lot of energy, as 98 percent of the energy used by a traditional incandescent light bulb can be lost as heat energy instead of light energy.
- LED light bulbs last about 50 to 100 times as long as an incandescent light bulb. They also last about five to ten times as long as a fluorescent light bulb.
- Having no filament or tube helps to make an LED light bulb last longer than an incandescent bulb. They also resist the effects of heat and cold much better than incandescent bulbs.
- The dangerous element of mercury is used when creating an incandescent bulb. Mercury is not used when creating an LED light bulb. This reduces employee and environmental health concerns.
- When using an LED light bulb in a flashlight instead of an incandescent bulb, the life of the batteries can be increased by 10 to 15 times.
