When people began to know the exceptional benefits of these lights, it was applied to a wide range of applications. More and more features were added to increase the popularity of the lights. Today LEDs can be seen everywhere. It has a lot of benefits over traditional lights.

Led lights are energy efficient when compared to conventional lights. This is the main reason why these lights are used everywhere. Traditional lights lose 80 percent of the total energy as heat.

Unlike fluorescent lights, no gases will be emitted to the surroundings.
