LED lighting consumes less electricity and emits fewer greenhouse gases. LEDs longer life span results in less landfill pollution. LEDs are also safer as they minimally emit heat which make them less of a fire hazard. They also emit less UV or infrared rays and contain no mercury. In addition, almost all components of LEDs are 100% recyclable.

LEDs use less energy, at least 80%, and last much longer than traditional lighting. HVAC costs are lowered due to the little heat LEDs emit.
Of their many benefits, one major attraction of LEDs are the potential savings in both maintenance and energy costs. LEDs pay themselves off in 18-24 months. |
The color consistency of an LED is near perfect. Most LEDs have a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of at least 80 though many are rated above 90 (on a scale of 1-100) which qualify them as a better quality light as compared to fluorescents of CFLs. LEDs provide more directional light and many have dimming capabilities.

Quality LEDs are more resistant to breakage and require very little maintenance. Their resilience enables them to withstand frigid temperatures. Quality LEDs are capable of lasting up to 100,000 hours.
