The innovation of LED technology all over the world was a sensational accomplishment by researchers who were part of the invasion of products that were customarily employed in general lighting. The advantages of using LEDs have proved to have an influence on customers who are desirous of doting on these lights rather than sticking to the conventional lights. Apart from being used in homes as well as offices, these are being used in signal lights, headlamps as well as in flashlights. This article lists out the advantages and the advances in LED technology.

Energy saving - Probably, this is the most imperative and widespread aspect of the LED. In the business of electrical hardware, LED illumination is acknowledged to symbolize an essential distinction in using the electricity for lighting. The incandescent bulbs are dependent on a filament that glows to generate light. The LED or the light emitting diode bulbs on the contrary, utilize the entire power to make the lamp glow. Therefore, the thermal energy is conserved. This technology is well accepted because of the fact that it has a minimum maintenance cost and longer existence. LED has established that it is worthy of conserving energy in America where lighting require almost 20% of energy.

Replacement - Another initiative that has yielded an additional advantage to this technology is the choice of replacement using another bulb called CRS MR 16 (manufactured by CRS Electronics), which can replace the florescent bulbs without rendering any sort of changes to the electrical lighting accessories. This linear bulb tube also comes with the advantage of life expectancy that is above 40,000 hours. An additional product of this kind is the CRS MR16, which has the capacity to conserve almost 87% of energy.

Extensive uses- The LED's employment in illuminating spaces is not restricted to the home and office alone nowadays. In this contemporary era, it is being rapidly used in medicinal fields. An example of this is restorative dentistry where blue LEDs are used for treating light activated oral bio materials. In clinical trials conducted by the researchers, it has been proved that a blue light LED curing unit (LCU) can produce dental complex depth by using halogen LCU to fit in such a way that it allows an irradiation of 300 mWcm-2. L EDs also form an essential part of the optical trade and accessories. The number of researchers to supply this LED, which is still under process, will bestow a motivation to the lighting trade.
