Why LED Bulbs Are Getting So Popular
These days the focus is on developing energy efficient devices that are environment friendly. We can no longer afford to play havoc with nature. We are already experiencing the ill effects of global warming caused by the excessive carbon emissions in the atmosphere. Keeping this in mind, LED bulbs have been introduced and they are fast replacing incandescent bulbs and compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs). LED bulbs use only a fraction of the energy consumed by the incandescent and compact fluorescent bulbs. Therefore, it is a green option for illuminating spaces. A 12v LED bulb is as powerful as a 40W incandescent bulb but uses just 2W of power. This means that these types of bulbs use only 5 to 10 percent of electricity consumed by the traditional bulbs. Initially, LEDs were used only for indicator lights in electronic devices but now they are being used for lighting purposes too. A light emitting diode bulb consists of several LED bulbs clustered together. They emit light in ult...
