Eclipse LED Digital ballasts are more efficient, quieter, cooler, and softer on the bulb. LED bulbs last up to 10 times as long as compact fluorescents, and far longer than typical incandescents. LEDs do not have a filament, they are not damaged under circumstances when a regular incandescent bulb would be broken. Because they are solid, LED bulbs hold up well to jarring and bumping. These Led bulbs do not cause heat build-up; LEDs produce 3.4 btu's/ hour, compared to 85 for incandescent bulbs. This also cuts down on air conditioning costs in the home. LED light bulbs use only 2-10 watts of electricity (1/3rd to 1/30th of Incandescent or CFL) Small LED flashlight bulbs will extend battery life 10 to 15 times longer than with incandescent bulbs. LEDs are expensive, the cost is recouped over time and in battery savings. For the AC bulbs and large cluster arrays, the best value comes from commercial use where maintenance and replacement costs are expensive. LEDs, using solar panels becomes more practical and less expensive than running an electric line or using a generator for lighting.
