Why did 5.11 choose an LED over an incandescent bulb?
This was actually a very easy choice, considering the evidence below.
-LED’s last longer than incandescent bulbs.
-LED’s have a predictable failure mode. Have you ever noticed that an incandescent bulb just goes out without any warning?
-LED’s lifetime is not determined by how many times you turn the light on or off.
-LED’s are resistant to shock and vibration, incandescent bulbs are not.
-Incandescent bulbs have a high operating temperature, where LED’s remain cool.
-LED’s use small amounts of energy, incandescent bulbs use a lot of energy.
