LED lamp

Cool bright bulb

An LED lamp is a light source that uses light-emitting diodes rather than incandescent filaments or fluorescent tubes.

LED lamps consume far less electricity and last much longer than traditional bulbs, making them the dominant technology for residential and commercial lighting: We replaced all the bulbs with LED lamps.
