What are the Advantages of LED Bulbs?
There seems to be some confusion on why we have selected the LED bulb to placed within our Light for Life Flashlight, hopefully this will shed some light (sorry, bad pun) on our decision. Take a look at some of the advantages of using LED bulbs.
• Efficiency: LED’s produce more light per watt than incandescent bulbs; this is extremely helpful for our Light for Life Flashlights
• Slow failure: LED’s mostly fail by dimming over time, rather than the abrupt burn-out of incandescent bulbs.
• Lifetime: LED’s can last a very long time. It has often been reported that LED’s can last over 50,000 hours or more.
• Shock resistance: LED’s are difficult to damage with external shock, unlike fluorescent and incandescent bulbs which are fragile.
• Focus: LED’s can be designed to focus its light. Incandescent and fluorescent lights often require an external reflector to collect light and direct it in a usable manner.
• Toxicity: LEDs do not contain mercury, unlike fluorescent lamps.
I think we made the right choice! What do you think?
