LED lights and globes are infinitely better than incandescent ones, and are rapidly replacing them.

LEDs are stronger so more impact resistant.

LEDs are much more efficient.

LEDs are much greener.

LEDs use much less power.

LEDs last much much longer than incandescents.

Incandescent lights last at most 1,500 hours whilst LEDs can lass up to 50,000 hours - so less replacement cost, and less maintenance costs.

Also LEDs generate much less heat, so are much safer as well.

LEDs are 40% to 90% more efficient than incandescent lights, as most o the power is converted to light rather than heat. They also have a lifespan 5 to 10 times longer than incandescents.

LEDs consume less power, do not produce much heat, do not have flicker, do not use toxic material.

LEDs:

- Start quicker

- Do not have flicker

- Are green and do not use mercury

- Waterproof (mostly)

- Provide better lighting

- Have long lifespan

- Are more durable

- More efficient

- Cooler

The biggest thing is their efficiency - they use 90% less power.

LEDs are very impact reistant and vandal proof, as they do not use fragile filaments and glass.

Incandescent lights were always white and to create a colour you needed a filter which was inefficient - whereas LEDs can be made almost any colour.

LEDs have very little infra-red and no ultra-violet.

LEDs can be very focused and bright so they are extremely good in environments like kitchens and offices.

Also, LEDs can come in a variety of shapes like tubes and panels, which can enhance their capability even more.
