LED technology compared to traditional incandescent alternative

LED bulbs are compatible with standard lamps mouth, without sacrificing its working life, the designers must somehow does not increase the led light bulbs potential failure mechanism, the driver integrated circuit with the bulb together.

LED technology compared to traditional incandescent alternative, the main benefit of a longer working life, as well as lower cost per watt-hour working. Compared to the relatively fragile incandescent and fluorescent lamps, the robustness of the solid-state lighting technology is an important selling point for consumers. The typical life span of the incandescent lamp is about 1000 hours. LED bulbs which claims to have a working life of more than 50,000 hours, the equivalent light output at the same time, the power consumption is only the former is about 20%.
However, if designers do not take the necessary precautions, LED lighting may be unable to consumers to honor commitments of about 25 years without having to replace bulbs. LED drive circuit complexity and reliability (must also be compatible with traditional dimming technology) are the designer must consider to solve the problem, so as to get the longest operating life of the LED lighting system.
