LED (Light-Emitting Diode)
ESSENTIAL LED LIGHTING LAYERS
More efficient and longer lasting than any other light source, LEDs are becoming increasingly popular in home applications. While incandescent and compact fluorescent bulbs emit light and heat in all directions, LEDs are “directional� and only emit light in one direction, allowing them to use light and energy more efficiently. LEDs are usually rated for 25,000 to 50,000 hours. Turn to the next chapter for more information on LEDs.
Early Electric LED Bulbs These vintage style LED bulbs mimic the look of early electric bulbs yet possess the modern energy efficiency standards of today.
Screw-In LED Bulbs Because most common household lighting fixtures have Edison bases (also known as screw-in bases), screwin LED bulbs allow you to easily upgrade your existing fixtures with the energy and savings benefits of LEDs.
