What are the advantages and disadvantages of LED?

Answer:

environmental protectionLED is made of non-toxic material, unlike fluorescent lamps that contain mercury, which can cause pollution, and LED can be recycled. There is no ultraviolet and infrared in the spectrum, neither heat nor radiation, small glare, cold light source can be safely touched, belonging to a typical green lighting source
High brightness, low calorieLED uses cold light emitting technology, which produces much less heat than ordinary lighting.
Long service lifeSome people call LED light source as long life lamp. It is a solid cold light source lamp epoxy resin packaging, no loose parts of the body, there is no filament burnability, thermal deposition, depreciation and other shortcomings, in the right current and voltage, the service life of up to 60 thousand to 100 thousand hours, 10 times longer than traditional light source life above.
The advantages and disadvantages of LED:LED advantagesSmall volumeLED is basically a small chip is encapsulated in epoxy resin, so it is very small, very light.Low power consumptionLED consumes very low DC drive, ultra-low power consumption (single 0.03-0.06 watts), and electro-optical power conversion is close to 30%. Generally speaking, the working voltage of LED is 2-3.6V, and the operating current is 0.02-0.03A. That is to say, it consumes less than 0.1W of electric energy, and the same lighting effect is nearly 80% better than that of traditional light source.
