LEDs may be small in size but new high-brightness models are producing a considerable amount of light. LED lighting technology offers many advantages over traditional lighting technologies like incandescent, compact fluorescent lights, CFLs, and other forms of lighting.
Light-emitting diodes are solid-state devices that convert the electricity energy directly into light of a single color. They employ 'cold' light generation technology where most of the energy is delivered in the visible spectrum. LED doesn't waste energy in the form of non-light producing heat.
