Why LED is important?

♤ The light in most homes is produced by incandescent sources. For the bulb to produce light an electric current is passed through a conductor and the tungsten is heated to the point at which it gives off light.

♤ These bulbs are not very energy efficient; roughly 10% of the energy is used to make visible light.

♤ White LEDs are much more energy efficient than traditional incandescent and fluorescent light thus replacing traditional bulbs with LED leads to drastic reduction in power requirements.

♤ For poor countries with poor electricity grid LED becomes even more useful.

♤ LED bulbs produce less carbon than older bulbs, which can be very useful to get rid of the ill effects of global warming.

♤ These energy saving bulbs have a very long life, and they are able to remain consistent despite of long- term use.

♤ LEDs are used in electrical equipment like TV, Mobile, and Computers etc.
