Both devices produce some light when electric current flows through them.
Yes, they provide as much light as the incandescent bulbs, thought some may vary according to their own type. But there's no other way that incandescent bulb can be compared to LEDs, because LEDs are way better than the old traditional bulbs.
Yes, LEDs do produce some heat when in use, but they are much more energy-efficient and generate less heat compared to traditional incandescent bulbs.
home depo, sears, wal*mart. If they are indeed LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) then any radio shack (or similar) will carry them. Make sure they are LEDs and not just 12Vdc incandescent bulbs. They are probably integrated into a circuit board, but can be replaced by using a soldering iron.

Incandescent light bulbs are inefficient at converting energy into light. They are so inefficient that in many places there is no a ban on the sale or manufacture of incandescent light bulbs in favor of higher efficiency CFLs, LEDs, or halogen lights.
Incandescent light bulbs waste a lot of energy by producing heat along with light, whereas energy-saving bulbs, such as LEDs or CFLs, are more efficient at converting electricity into light. Therefore, incandescent bulbs require more electrical energy to produce the same amount of light as energy-saving bulbs.
Incandescent light bulbs are used, in addition to LEDs. LEDs or laser emitted diodes, produce the different colours with different electricity molecules mixing with the oxygen in the air
Yes, incandescent bulbs are dimmable.
Lighting is not one of the major electrical costs in a house, especially if CFL (compact fluorescent lamps) or LED bulbs are used. If lighting costs are an issue, get rid of incandescent bulbs and halogen bulbs. CFLs are cheaper and nearly as efficient as LEDs.
LED light bulbs are the most energy-efficient and longest-lasting among the three types. They use less energy and can last up to 25,000 hours. CFL bulbs are more energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs but less so than LEDs, with a lifespan of around 10,000 hours. Incandescent bulbs are the least energy-efficient and have the shortest lifespan, typically lasting around 1,000 hours.
Light emitting diodes (LEDs) have advantages over incandescent bulbs. LEDs have longer service life, and are more efficient electrically. Better efficiency and life makes them environmentally friendly alternatives as a third advantage.
LEDs are not combustible because they do not rely on heat to produce light like traditional incandescent bulbs. LEDs are made of solid-state materials that do not generate significant heat during operation, making them much safer to use in various applications.
