What's the difference between an LED lamp and an incandescent lamp?

Answer:

Incandescent light, halogen tungsten, lighting efficiency of 12-24 lumens / watt, fluorescent lamp 50-70 lumens / watt, sodium lamp 90-140 lumens / watt, most of the power consumption into heat loss.LED light efficiency: can be sent to 50-200 lumens / watt, and the light emitting good color, narrow spectrum, without filtering, can be directly colored, visible light.
LED light source consumes less power, LED single tube power 0.03-0.06 Watt, DC drive, single tube drive voltage 1.5-3.5 volts. The current is 15-18 Ma, which reflects fast speed and can be operated at high frequency. Under the same lighting effect, the power consumption is 1/10000 of the incandescent lamp and 1/2 of the fluorescent tube.
LED light source is favorable for environmental protection LED to all the solid body impact resistance is not easy broken, waste Recyclable, did not reduce the amount of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen pollution of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and other harmful gases and produce improve people's living environment, can be called the "green lighting light source."
LED light source safety and reliability low heat, no heat radiation, cold light source, safe touch, can accurately control the light type and angle, and light color, no glare, no mercury, sodium may be a health hazard.
LED light source, long service life, incandescent lamp, fluorescent lamp, halogen lamp by using electronic light radiation emitting filament burnability, thermal deposition, light attenuation, and the LED lamp has the advantages of small size, light weight, epoxy resin packaging, can withstand high mechanical shock and vibration, not easily broken, the average life expectancy up to 100 thousand hours, LED lamp life of up to 5-10 years, the maintenance cost of the lamp can avoid frequent lamp replacement greatly reduces the pain.
