    LED lights last 50,000 hours on average, much longer than incandescent bulbs which only last 1,200 hours or CFLs at 8,000 hours. LEDs use 6-8 watts of power compared to 60 watts for incandescents and 13-15 watts for CFLs. This lower power usage means LEDs produce far fewer carbon dioxide emissions and cost less to operate over time. LEDs do not contain mercury like CFLs and are more durable than both incandescents or CFLs.
