Benefits of LEDs
Energy Efficiency - LED light bulbs burn very cool, transferring almost all energy to pure light, while traditional incandescent light bulbs emit 98% percent of their energy as heat! Be Green! LEDs are Energy Friendly. Save the enviroment and money off your energy bill at the same time!Long Life LED lights can last from 50,000 to 100,000 hours. Incandescent light bulbs normally last around 1,000 hours under percent conditions, and fluorescents bulbs are only good for roughly 10,000 hours (PS: flourescent bulbs contain mercury inside the bulbs that is toxic when inhaled! Beware of breaking them!)
Extreme Durability : [shock proof] - Unlike normal bulbs, LED lights have no fragile filament inside the tiny bulb, nor any fragile tube. They are resistant to heat, cold, and shock.
Lumens Per Watt : LED bulb have an extremely high lumens/watt ratio, and is continiously improved as technology advances.. Most LEDs today produce the same lumens per watt as CFL's (compact florescent bulbs) averaging around 55 lumens/watt. Historic incandescent bulbs average around 13-15 lumens per watt, with most of the energy going into heat, rather than light!
