DO LED LIGHT BULBS EMIT HEAT?

For an example, if you have 4 incandescent light lamps turned ON and 8 ceiling incandescent lights turned ON in the summer time in your living room, this will produce excess or extra heat and will make your AC work harder to cool down the room or house. By replacing the incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs there will be no heat generated or emitted from the bulbs. This will also save you money as your air conditioner does not have to stay ON as long to cool down the room.

HOW LONG DO LED LIGHT BIULBS LAST?

Since LED lights last so long, they do not have to be replaced as much as a normal incandescent light bulb. This is a great advantage as some homes have high vaulted ceiling light bulbs or high chandeliers that are hard to reach. By replacing all the hard to reach incandescent light bulbs, you will not have to get that ladder out every 6 months to a year to replace the bulbs. LED light bulbs may cost more in the beginning but will save you a ton of money over a span of multiple years. It has been shown that you could go through or have to replace 25 to 30 incandescent light bulbs versus 1 LED light bulb.
