LED light

Efficient modern bulb

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

LEDs convert electricity directly into light, making them far more energy-efficient and longer-lasting than traditional bulbs.

The term is technically redundant—the D in LED already stands for diode—but LED light has become the standard way to refer to these fixtures: We switched all the LED lights to a warmer color temperature.
