By heating up filament By moving electrons in compound semiconductors By ionizing mercury vapor in a glass tube By moving electric current through a tube containing gas A light-emitting diode, or LED, is a type of solid-state lighting that uses a semiconductor to convert electricity into light.
Changing five of your most frequently used lights with ENERGY STAR bulbs can save you $75 a year on energy costs.
The cost of LEDs has declined nearly 90 percent since 2008 LEDs are white light sources LEDs have many benefits including energy savings potential, lower costs and improved performance LEDs reduce the need for reflectors and diffusers Unlike incandescent lamps, LEDs are not inherently white light sources.
They produce the longest-lasting, most energy-efficient lighting available today.
