LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. LED lights are made of diodes which consist of materials from the periodic table. LEDs are gaining popularity because they consume less energy while emitting more light than traditional bulbs. LED light bulbs are measured in lumens instead of watts. The color range of LEDs is larger than the traditional bulb variations. They also have a larger variation in shapes and sizes. They come with many other options for personalizing your space such as dimmable, three-way, Energy Star, smart, tuneable and color changing. LEDs are definitely the better choice for lighting your home.
