LED Advangages:
LED bulbs have various advantages over conventional incandescent lamps. They do not have a filament that will burn out so they will last much longer. Additionally, their small plastic bulb makes them a lot more durable. The main advantage of LED bulbs is efficiency. Incandescent bulbs generate heat in order to warm the filament. Unless you are using the lamp as a heater this is a complete waste of energy as a large portion of this energy is not being used to produce visible light. LED bulbs generate very little heat and so a large percentage of the electical power is being used for actual light output rather than heat which cuts down the electrical demand.
