LEDs have come a very long way since they were invented in the 1960s. LED lamps have been used for decades in the form of indicator lights on electronic products. Now, these LED lamps light bulbs have advanced to the point where they produce enough light for household and commercial applications. LEDs are extremely energy efficient and have lifetimes ranging from 50,000 hours to 100,000 hours. LED light bulbs are the perfect complement to your collection energy efficient lighting products.
