Lighting Questions > What is an LED light and how long do these bulbs burn? LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. These bulbs do not contain filaments, which is the substance that burns out in traditional bulbs. LED light sets last on average ten times longer and use 1/10 the power of standard mini lights. They also emit a brighter and more distinct color for less of the energy. LEDs are constructed from tiny solid-state chips similar to those used in computers. These chips directly convert electricity to light without the use of a filament or glass bulb. Instead the chips are encased in solid plastic that can be made into a variety of shapes and sizes. LEDs are also good for applications where vibration often leads to early failure of conventional light sources. Being a solid-state device, LEDs are highly resistant to damage caused by vibration.
