LED lights
LED lights are used in numerous lighting applications. Available in an array of colors and sizes, some LED lights may be brighter than others but both provide unique benefits for different situations. Selecting the correct LED light for your application is key to meeting its requirements; manufacturers search for materials that allow light to pass directly through surfaces for maximum brightness or provide uniform coverage to create diffused effects.
LEDs operate much cooler than their incandescent counterparts, which pose a fire risk, making them safer to use around children, pets, as well as in areas with potentially flammable objects.
