L.E.D. vs Halogen
![test](/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/test.png)
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits visible light when an electric current passes through it. The LEDs are placed on a circuit board or similar device to allow electricity to pass through at a specific voltage and current. A halogen bulb is a gas-filled, high-intensity incandescent lamp having a tungsten filament and containing a small amount of a halogen that vaporizes on heating and redeposits any evaporated tungsten particles back onto the filament.

Bulb Cost vs Life Span
Initial cost of L.E.D. is 8x the amount of a Halogen version HOWEVER…
L.E.D’s last 250x LONGER
L.E.D’s will SAVE you 28x more
- No Replacing Bulbs.
- Low Amperage Draw.
- Less Downtime.
Other Differences
L.E.D.
- Emits heat through the bottom or back – bulb is not hot to touch
- Low amerage draw
- Higher colour temperature – Whiter, brighter light
HALOGEN
- Emits heat through bulb – bulb requires cool down time
- Higher amerage draw
- Lower colour temperature – Yellow light
- Generally has a glass lens
