| Traditional fluorescent T8's and T12's need a ballast, consume lots of energy, are full of mercury, made of glass, fade in color over time and average about an 8,000 hr lifespan.
Because LED's are solid-state electronics, they do not require warm-up periods, giving you instant illumination.

“LEDs represent perhaps the most significant breakthrough of the last 130 years in lighting technology,” says research analyst Eric Bloom. Bloom adds that incandescent and less efficient T12 and T8 fluorescent lamps will be almost completely eliminated over the next 10 years. Pike Research forecasts that LED share will reach 52% of the commercial lighting market by 2021.”
