LED Lamps

Until recently, LEDs were limited to single-bulb use in applications such as instrument panels, electronics, pen lights and, more recently, strings of outdoor Christmas lights. Recent improvements in manufacture have lowered the cost of LEDs, which has expanded their application. The bulbs are now available in clusters, from 36 to 48 bulbs, and are popular especially for Lighting applications

Benefits of LED lamps:

• Long-lasting - LED bulbs last 10 times as long as compact fluorescents, and 50-100 times longer than typical incandescents in normal everyday use situations.
• Durable - Since LEDs do not have a filament, they are not damaged under circumstances when a regular incandescent bulb or CFL would be broken.
• Cool - these bulbs do not cause heat build-up. LEDs produce 3.4 btus/hour, compared to 85 btus/hour for incandescent bulbs.
• Energy-saving - LEDs use a fraction of the wattage of incandescent bulbs. These bulbs last for years, therefore energy is saved in maintenance and replacement costs. This also makes LEDs the best choice for use with alternative energy sources
