Cost: LED lighting fixtures have a higher upfront cost, but will have a greater lifespan in the long run.

Brightness: LED lighting is measured in lumens, not watts.

LED bulbs typically use only 2 to 10 watts of electricity.

Efficiency: Compared to conventional incandescent bulbs, LED lighting lasts longer, is more durable, and is over five times more efficient.

Here’s a crash course in LED Lighting 101 to get you started on making the switch: Buying LED Lighting: The Short Story Its small size and relatively cooler operating temperature mean that LEDs can be used in shapes and forms that would have been impossible to light with traditional bulbs. The process is much more efficient than what’s used by traditional incandescent lights and has a much longer lifespan. This is light produced using a semiconductor in a process called electroluminescence.

What is LED Lighting?Īt its most basic, LED stands for Light Emitting Diode.

We often get questions about LED lighting, so we’ve included a set of frequently asked questions with answers to guide the decision-making process. While LED lighting isn’t brand new, the technology is booming, and now is a great time to make the transition.
