LEDs
The following, within quotes, is one of many extremely useful and helpful tips sent out by email from All-battery.com (USA).
"What are LEDs?
LEDs are Light Emitting Diodes. Diodes allow electric current to flow in one direction; LEDs are also diodes, but they also have the unique "side effect" of producing light while electricity is flowing through them. The advantages over traditional bulbs are as follows:
* Reliability - 10,000+ hour rated life
* Durability - Vibration and shock resistant with no bulbs or filaments to break
* Cost Savings and Convenience - No bulbs to change ever!
* Energy Efficient - 1/5 the energy consumption of standard lamps
* Natural Light - Emits light color similar to the sun
* Safer - Solid state lamps make LEDs safer in hazardous environment"
