What is a LED?

A LED bulb, also called a Light Emitting Diode source, emits light when an electric current passes through it. It converts electric current (electrons) to light particles called photons. This is in reverse to what a solar cell does. The solar cell converts the Sun radiation (photons) to a stream of electrons, or electric current. The principle of LED bulbs was known for many years, but only recently the technology has become matured enough to provide efficient and significant light at affordable prices.

Other Outdoor Lighting Options

How much light does a LED emit?

In proportion to their tiny size and the electrical power they consume, LED illumination is much better than the illumination provided by the incandescent bulb that consume the same amount of electric power. They use very little electrical power and as a result they heat up less than the incandescent bulbs. A LED uses about 10-15% of the power of an incandescent bulb. More than that, a LED will last thousands of hours; those produced by top manufacturers has a proven life span of 50,000 hours, compared to a small incandescent bulb that will only survive a few hundred hours.

LED and Solar

LED work on a DC supply while a solar electric panel produce DC power. Therefore they can perfectly match each other. The elimination of AC power is a very desired feature for outdoor lighting and for decorative LED garden lighting
