An LED light bulb is an electric light for use in light fixtures that produces light using one or more light-emitting diodes. A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits light when an electric current is passed through it.

Why is it important for businesses?

Due to the lifespan of LED lamps. LED lamps have a lifespan many times longer than equivalent incandescent lamps, and are significantly more efficient than most fluorescent lamps. Some LED chips are able to emit up to 303 lumens per watt, compared to 60-100 lumens per watt for fluorescent lamps.
