Energy Makeovers
One of the big advantages of LED lighting is that they outlast any of their competition. A standard bulb generates light using a filament which, over time, will burn out and eventually break. Because an LED bulb uses a diode instead of a filament, it can last far longer before it needs to be replaced.
In general, halogen light bulbs last somewhere between 1,000 and 4,000 hours – less than a year if you use the light eight hours a day. CFLs (compact fluorescent lamps) last a little longer, coming in around 6,000 hours. LED bulbs can last between 15,000 and 50,000 hours – up to more than seventeen years with eight-hour daily use.
