LED is generally a light emitting semiconductor device that emits light in the forward direction or it emits light towards a pointed direction. It is most commonly used in an electronic device in the form of an indicator light, traffic signal lights, musical instruments and dashboards in cars and even in the houses and so on. The LED Light bulbs are made by arranging the light emitting devices in the form of a light bulb. And, one can nearly save energy up to 80% by using the LED light bulbs.
The lifespan of LED bulbs totally depends upon its manufacturing process and it can go up to 1,000,000 hours, as compared with the other compact fluorescent lamps and incandescent bulbs. LED's by nature emits light in a very small band of wavelength and produces a strong colored light. LED bulbs even improve the energy efficiency and generate multiple colors of light. A light emitting diode or LED is generally a semiconductor light source.
LED light bulbs also constitutes many advantages over incandescent light sources and also includes lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, improved robustness, smaller size, faster switching, and greater durability and reliability. And, it has even been observed that, they are relatively less expensive and requires more heat management than traditional light sources.
Most of the LED's bulbs operate in a range of 2 to 4 volts and consumes between 350 mw and 1500 mw. However, traditional incandescent light bulbs waste up to 80% of its energy in the form of heat that they produce, whereas, led light bulbs on the other hand saves the energy since heat emission is minimal. One of the factors that affect the power consumption of the LED is the fact that LED cannot be dimmed, as they produce light of higher intensity.
Some of the benefits of using the LED bulbs over standard light bulbs include the fact that: the power consumption of LED bulb is only 10% over a standard light bulb. Then it can withstand a great amount of vibration, shock, and temperature variations. These bulbs also constitute 10 to 60 times more of energy saving than compared to other incandescent lamps. Then some of the other advantage is this that, LED's bulbs does not emit light that flickers, whereas, the incandescent bulbs produces the light that flickers. And, it even produces many rich and vibrant colours. Thus, it effectively reduces the power consumption by almost 30%.
