How is LED different from lamp?

similarity between lamp and LED- lamp in simple current is used to show that current is flowing and LED performs the same task but in electronic circuit .difference between lamp and LED-lamp in simple current is used to show that current is flowing and LED performs the same task more efficiently but in electronic circuit . so LED works more efficiently in electronic circuit than lamp which performs task in simple circuit.

Why light emitting diodes are good?

LED (light emitting diode) is an electronic component that generates light from the electrons flowing in one direction through it, in an electron circuit, possibly as part of a circuit board. In a circuit the light emission can be a short as a nanosecond. One or more LED's can be used to make light with a minimum of electricity. Modern applications are wide spread including optical sensor activators, calculator displays and automotive tail lights. LED's have come down in price and can last for tens of thousands of hours so have become an economical replacement for other lights in some applications.
