ENERGY STAR certified LED lighting products use 90% less energy and can last 25 times longer than traditional incandescent lighting. LEDs (short for “light-emitting diode”) also outperform CFLs (compact fluorescent or “spiral” light bulbs) in terms of energy efficiency, versatility, and durability, not to mention their appeal to energy-conscious consumers who have concerns about mercury gas in CFLs.
