LED bulbs cost so much because of the amount of life that you get from the bulbs. These bulbs are designed to last for years.

What are LED advantages and disadvantages?

Advantages - efficacy, they produce more light per watt verse a regular bulb. Disadvantage - cost, for reasons why they are better, they cost more. Color is much crisper and emits less energy to project although the work best in a temperature controlled environment so if the temperature fluctuates then the life of the bulb is lessened. LED doesn't contain mercury which is a toxic substance used in fluorescent lamps. Although the blue light LED's emit can cause light pollution and even possibly cause eye damage.


Where is there a resister in a light bulb circuit?

In an old-fashioned light bulb, the part that emits light is a resistance. When current flows through it, it heats up so much that it glows - it emits light.Due to their lousy efficiency, these light bulbs should be discarded, in favor of fluorescent light bulbs or LED light bulbs.In an old-fashioned light bulb, the part that emits light is a resistance.

Why should you change away form using incandescent light bulb?

There are other forms of artificial light devices that consume much less power, and generate less heat, such as Halogen, LED, and so forth.


Are LED maglite brighter than maglite?

Well they are suppose to give off the same light, say in wattage, but they use less power, and generally cost more. Most LED's, have a rating to match a regular bulb. Say, a led flashlight, is marked as equal to a 50w bulb. On the maglight website, they do not list wattage or lumens , so you have to assume that both mini mags are equal in light produced.
