Grace Cary / Getty Images – LED Light Bulbs LED light bulbs, a high-efficiency lighting solution, emit light up to 90 percent more effectively than incandescent bulbs. Additionally, they are more efficient than CFL lights. LED light bulbs have a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours, which is approximately 30 times longer than incandescent lights and 5 times longer than the average CFL.
LED bulbs create visible light by transferring an electric current via a microchip, which subsequently ignites a light source. A heat sink absorbs any heat produced by the LEDs, ensuring that the bulbs are not hot to the touch. LED light bulbs are the most eco-friendly bulbs on the market today due to their extended lifespan, lack of toxic chemicals, and exceptional energy efficiency.
