    The document compares LED lights, incandescent light bulbs, and CFLs across several categories: - LED lights last 50,000 hours on average, much longer than incandescent or CFL bulbs. They are the most energy efficient and have the lowest operating costs. - CFLs contain toxic mercury while LEDs and incandescents do not. LEDs produce the lowest carbon dioxide emissions. - LED lights are durable, produce little heat, and have no sensitivity to temperature or humidity unlike other bulbs. They turn on instantly without a warm-up period.

    Energy Efficiency & Energy Costs


    Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
    Life Span (average) Watts of electricity used (equivalent to 60 watt bulb). LEDs use less power (watts) per unit of light generated (lumens). LEDs help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and lower electric bills Kilo-watts of Electricity used (30 Incandescent Bulbs per year equivalent) Annual Operating Cost (30 Incandescent Bulbs per year equivalent)
    6 - 8 watts 60 watts 13-15 watts

    Environmental Impact

    Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)

    Incandescent Light Bulbs

    Compact Fluorescents (CFLs)


    Yes - Mercury is very toxic to your health and the environment

    Contains the TOXIC Mercury

    No

    No

    RoHS Compliant Carbon Dioxide Emissions (30 bulbs per year) Lower energy consumption decreases: CO2 emissions, sulfur oxide, and high-level nuclear waste.

    Yes

    Yes

    No - contains 1mg-5mg of Mercury and is a major risk to the environment

    451 pounds/year

    4500 pounds/year

    Important Facts
    Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) Incandescent Light Bulbs Compact Fluorescents (CFLs)
    Yes - may not work under negative 10 degrees Fahrenheit or over 120 degrees Fahrenheit Yes

    Sensitivity to low temperatures

    None

    Some

    Sensitive to humidity On/off Cycling Switching a CFL on/off quickly, in a closet for instance, may decrease the lifespan of the bulb. Turns on instantly Durability

    No

    Some

    No Effect

    Some

    Yes - can reduce lifespan drastically

    Yes Very Durable - LEDs can handle jarring and bumping 3.4 btu's/hour Not typical

    Yes Not Very Durable - glass or filament can break easily 85 btu's/hour Some

    No - takes time to warm up Not Very Durable - glass can break easily 30 btu's/hour Yes - may catch on fire, smoke, or omit an odor
