“A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor light source that emits light when current flows through it. Electrons in the semiconductor recombine with electron holes, releasing energy in the form of photons. The color of the light (corresponding to the energy of the photons) is determined by the energy required for electrons to cross the band gap of the semiconductor.[5] White light is obtained by using multiple semiconductors or a layer of light-emitting phosphor on the semiconductor device.[6]
Appearing as practical electronic components in 1962, the earliest LEDs emitted low-intensity infrared (IR) light.[7] Infrared LEDs are used in remote-control circuits, such as those used with a wide variety of consumer electronics. The first visible-light LEDs were of low intensity and limited to red. Modern LEDs are available across the visible, ultraviolet (UV), and infrared wavelengths, with high light output.
LED is a cool light source.
Now we have LED in every color.
LED saves 75% of energy when compared with traditional incandescent light bulbs.
Energy efficient incandescent bulbs such as halogen bulbs saves only 25% energy when compared with traditional incandescent.
LED lights have a long life, 25 times the traditional.
“Traditional incandescent and halogen lights are still in use in landscape lighting. But they’re inefficient compared to other offerings. Most of the energy they consume is being used for heat instead of light.
A typical, moderate halogen outdoor lighting system costs about $25 a month in electricity to operate. Most homeowners consider it a small price to pay for the beauty, safety and security professional outdoor lighting offers.
All in all, incandescent lighting hasn’t changed much since Thomas Edison invented the first bulb back in 1879. To his credit, creating light in a bulb was a pretty cool thing back then. But we have higher expectations now.
If you watch the installation video and find it too difficult, you still can try to do it yourself.
Do your home work appropriately.
How to do it appropriately?
It is actually dependent on your lifestyle.
If your lifestyle needs to be changed, it may take a while.
Nevertheless, change it.
For the time being, you can take actions in good faith.
