LED lights, which stand for light-emitting diodes, are known for their efficiency, durability, flexibility, and power-saving benefits. In fact, LED's are becoming more and more widely-used in today’s market, even for indoor and outdoor lighting, due to these reasons.
LED's are known for their long life. An average light-emitting diode lasts from 50,000 hours all the way up to 100,000 hours. Yes, think about it – your average lamp can last over 10 years, nonstop, without having to be swapped out. Think of how useful an LED light would be for a hard-to-reach spot or all the way up on a high ceiling. Compare this lifespan to fluorescent lighting, or even worse, incandescent light bulbs. Incandescent light bulbs only last around 1,000 to 5,000 hours, depending on quality, not to mention their other disadvantages. Even the commonly used fluorescent lamp only gets from 10,000 to 20,000 hours.
Yet another benefit of using LED Lights is that they contain no harmful chemical, unlike fluorescent lights. Mercury, a toxic element, is used in fluorescent lamps and most HID technologies, and is very dangerous.
