Discover the Best Technology for Your Lighting Needs: LED vs Induction Lights

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the comparison between LED and induction lighting technologies. LED lights are recognized for their low power consumption and high output, making them a popular choice. Induction lights, which utilize magnetic coupling and lack electrodes, offer longevity but come at a higher initial cost, approximately $50 per bulb. Recent advancements in LED technology, particularly OLET LEDs, have demonstrated efficiency levels twice that of OLEDs, indicating a significant leap in performance.

What's an iinduction light?
 
Induction lights don't have any electrodes and so energy is induced via magnetic coupling.

They have last for a very long time.Wow, one induction bulb cost around $50 bucks.
