Incandescent light bulbs and LED are the most commonly used light bulbs around the world, but when someone says I need LED do you really know what that means? LED stands for Light-Emitting-Diode these types of bulbs are very unique and they technically aren’t even light bulbs. Inside them are tiny diodes that are wrapped in plastic to protect them and so the light can be focused, all of this is very different from how incandescent light bulbs work. In a incandescent light bulbs there are filaments that conduct the electricity running through them so they glow and produce heat and light. LED’s use electrons flowing through them to create photons which is the light we see. Photons generate very little heat which helps LED’s last a lot longer and use less energy to create the same amount of light as a incandescent bulb would. LED’s use around 75% less energy than incandescent light bulbs use and still putting out enough light to still light up your whole room using 11 to 12 watts to stay lit while incandescent bulb use around 50 watts to do the same job. Overall it’s definitely worth your time to switch from incandescent bulbs to LED’s your electrical bill will be cheaper cause they use less watts and they last longer so you won’t have to replace them as often and they’re cheaper at stores so LED’s are definitely the better lights.
