LEDs are the future. Well, at least that’s what we’ve been told for what seems like an eternity by electrical experts. Supposedly more sustainable and more cost efficient, LED (light-emitting diode) lighting has long been heralded as the future for lighting.

Many different types of light fixtures use LEDs. Incredibly versatile by nature, light-emitting diodes produce their light when the electrons move through the semiconductor material. Unsurprisingly, because of their versatility, the last few years have seen thousands of homes switch to LED lights.

LED (light emitting diode) lighting is the latest generation of lighting. Although LEDs have been around since the sixties they were very basic and could only be used as an electronic component. In more recent years they have been used mainly in gardens and as accent lighting due to their long life expectancy (usually 30,000 hours) and choice of colours.
