Thanks to My Green Montgomery (Maryland) for this wonderful chart and explanation:
Compared to less-efficient incandescent bulbs that emit light everywhere, LED light bulbs more efficiently emit light in a particular direction. What needs to be lit will still be bright, just without wasting energy.
 
LEDs are versatile and can be used in a variety of lighting situations. They use far less energy and last significantly longer than other light bulbs (for approximately 50,000 hours). If used for 8 hours a day, an LED bulb could last more than 17 years! For “Going Green,” this means less energy and materials will be needed for replacement bulbs.
