• Lowers electrical demand on solar/wind powered systems
• Decrease energy bills
• LED's last up to 8X longer, meaning less maintenance in the long run
• Solar paving lights add beauty and practicality.  No wiring is required, no power is drawn
• LED's run cool, so they're safer to use than fragile, burning hot halogen and incandescent bulbs
• turn on and off instantly
• do not use mercury like CFLs - so disposal concerns aren't the same
• White light (as opposed to yellow light cast by incandescents) is better to work by and less straining to the eye

An LED light bulb can last you up to 100,000 hours compared to 8,000 for compact fluorescent and 1,000 for a incandescent.

That averages out to 12 hours of light per day for 12 years. LED light bulbs are so energy efficient that, depending on how often you have them on, they'll actually pay for themselves in just over a year.

The best way to conserve energy is to use less of it. LED light bulbs are directional - which means that they only put the light where you aim it or where you need it.

Incandescent bulbs, on the other hand, throw their glow in all directions - wasting electricity and generating heat.
