A LED is a Light Emitting Diode. which is not actually a light bulb in the traditional sense, in that it does not have an filament that emits light when charged with electricity. Instead it has a diode that emits light in the form of protons when charged. The advantage is that LED's use very low power to produce equivalent wattage of light, run very cool and have very very long life ... unfortunately while the cost of LED's is coming down .... they are still considerably more expensive that nutritional light bulbs or CFL's.

Thanks for the explanation. So in the future, best to buy LED!! Do they make LED's for the Post Lights that take 3 small ones?
