The next generation LED bulbs fit perfectly into existing screw-in light sockets and create clean, bright light level, equivalent to that of a conventional incandescent bulb. When compared to a CFL, LED bulbs use significantly less electricity and contain no mercury.  They also have a significantly longer life span than both CFL’s and Incandescent Bulbs.  The average life span of a LED Bulb is around 50000 hours verses 8000 hours for a CFL and 1000 hours for an incandescent bulb.

LED is an ideal long-term sustainable product, which is perfectly suited for extreme hot and humid climate. commercial and industrial establishments are switching to LED’s owing to its benefits. It is also a recommended lighting product for lighting using solar energy. LED lights are ideal if the per day usage is more than 8 hrs. Use of LED bulbs helps in conserving precious electricity as well as leads to huge savings in a household’s electricity bill.
