LED is a highly energy-efficient lighting technology, and has the potential
to fundamentally change the future of lighting in the United States.
Residential LEDs -- especially ENERGY STAR rated products -- use at least
75% less energy, and last up to 25 times longer, than incandescent lighting.
Widespread use of LED lighting has a large potential impact on energy
savings in the United States. By 2035, the majority of lighting
installations are anticipated to use LED technology, and energy savings from
LED lighting could top 569 TWh annually by 2035, equal to the annual energy
output of more than 92 1,000 MW power plants.
