LED Lights offer a multitude of advantages over traditional light sources including lower electricity consumption, much longer lifetime, higher durability, no ultraviolet and infrared radiation, low heat and smaller size.
2. What is LED ?
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a two-lead semiconductor light source.
It resembles a basic pn-junction diode, which emits light when activated.
When a fitting voltage is applied to the leads, electrons are able to recombine
with electron holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons.

3. LED Inventors -
Nick Holonyak – He is an United States Scientist who invented the first
visible-spectrum LED in 1962 while working as a consulting scientist at
a General Electric Company laboratory in Syracuse, New York
Oleg Losev - Oleg Vladimirovich Losev was a Russian scientist. He
observed light emission from carborundum point-contact junctions,
the first light-emitting diode (LED).

5. LED vs CFL -
Life - LED has upper hand with a avg. Lifespan of 50000 hours as compare to CFL's 8000 hours.
Efficiency – Led bulbs have the avg efficiency of 100-120 lumens/watt in comparison to CFL's 50-70
Light Quality – LED has 60-90 CRI (color rendering index) as compare to CFL's 60-80 CRI
Energy Consumption per Year – A 10W led bulb take 29200 watts while a 20W CFL take 58400
watts
Focused Lighting – LED bulb has a light distribution angel of 120 while CFL has a 360 degree angel
CRI (color rendering index) - CRI of a light source is a quantitative measure of its ability to reproduce
the colors of various objects faithfully in comparison with an ideal or
natural light source.
