What is LED?
An LED, or Light-Emitting Diode, is a semiconductor device that emits light when an electric current passes through it. Unlike traditional incandescent or fluorescent bulbs, LEDs produce light more efficiently and generate less heat, making them a popular choice for energy-saving lighting solutions.
In residential and commercial electrical work, LEDs are commonly used for everything from general room lighting to task and accent lighting. Electricians install LED fixtures for improved energy efficiency, longer service life, and lower maintenance costs. For example, replacing traditional lighting with LED retrofits can reduce electricity bills and extend the life of the lighting system. Additionally, LEDs are often integrated into smart home systems, offering features like dimming and remote control.
