How efficient are LEDs?
Average current-generation LEDs are capable of approximately 50% or more efficiency than equally bright fluorescent bulbs and more than double the efficiency of incandescent; some next-generation LEDs claim an 8-fold advantage over their incandescent rivals. New technologies are generating LEDs that are even more efficient. An additional, indirect efficiency perk of LEDs is the lack of ambient heat generated – heat that no longer needs to be offset by ventilation or air-conditioning systems.
