Summary: LED bulbs are the next generation of “green” lighting technology. The Handyguys talk about how LED Bulbs compare to CFLs and whether they are really friendly to the environment.<br> <br> What is an LED bulb?<br> LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. LEDs have been around for a long time but only recently have become effective in lightbulbs. They use little electricity and can last a very long time. LEDs (the diodes) are very small elements that must be combined to produce one bulb that has an equivalent light output needed for a bulb. In addition to the diodes there must be electronic circuitry to control them.<br> <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/handyguys-20/search?node=236&keywords=LED%20bulbs&page=2"><br><br> </a><br> Advantages of LED Bulbs<br> Energy Consumption – The energy consumption is similar to that of CFL bulbs and much better than incandescent bulbs.<br> Dimmable – This is awesome, See a demonstration in the video. This is a huge advantage over a CFL.<br> Instant on – Truly instant on unlike a CFL. Its just like the real thing
