Why LED Lighting Saves Energy

An LED is a Light Emitting Diode that uses a semiconductor to convert energy (electricity) to light with virtually zero waste heat output. In a halogen bulb energy is passed through an extremely thin filament wire to generate light and there is a large amount of wasted energy in the process which is given off as heat. LED lighting therefore consumes less energy to generate the same or higher amounts of light (measured in lux).
