LED is the future lighting. Lamps with filaments may become history with more people preferring the energy saving LED’s to replace even the CFL. Though the initial cost for installation is higher compared to the conventional lights, this is easily covered in the long run as the LEDs last longer than any other form of lamps and consumes far less energy. Another advantage of LED is that it doesn’t heat up or produce heat like in conventional lamps. In most countries LEDs are not available locally just because of the high rates and the retail merchants won’t be stocking LEDs in the shops. However you can purchase LEDs from the internet shops like amazon and eBay.
