LED Solar Lights: What is an LED?
Technology truly is wonderful! Years ago our only choices for indoor and outdoor lights were incandescent bulbs or fluorescent tubes. We now have the luxury of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) for indoor and outdoor electric or solar lights.
LEDs are a semi-conductor device that emits visible light when conducting current. They are like miniature light bulbs that are installed on an electrical circuit. The light emitted by the LED bulb is the byproduct of electrons moving through the semi-conductor material. LED bulbs do not have a filament to burn out.
One LED bulb will last up to 100,000 hours. If you use the light for 10 hours per day, 3,650 hours a year, your LED bulb will last a total of 27 years! How many incandescent or fluorescent bulbs would you have to replace in a 27 year span?
LED bulbs do not generate heat, so your LED Solar Lights will stay cool to the touch. Another technological wonder for those of us that live in the sunbelt. When it’s 118 degrees outdoors, who needs more heat being generated by incandescent bulbs?
With the improvements to LEDs recently, differing light intensity can be achieved, based on color (amber, green, blue, red, white), super bright, ultra bright, and how many LEDs are grouped, or clustered, into the bulb. That is why LEDs are perfect for solar lights. Choose between a glow and ambiance, or brighter solar motion detector lights for security, and still reap the benefits of using the same LED bulb for the next 27 years.
