      LED lights actually blink more than other bulbs.

      To begin with, I love LED lights because they are so hard to burn out. Secondly, LED lights are a lot brighter than most other lights. In conclusion, that is why I like LED lights better than regular lights.

      I loved the section where it talked about how Thomas Edison used the other elements for the light bulbs and how they would melt until they found the filament. I also loved when Roger billings talked about how LEDS work and why they’ve become the most efficient lighting technology.

      I was impressed with how quick he got over not winning. The history of how the first long – lasting bulb was invented, and how Roger Billings was the student of Lear. Also how the first LED’s were made.
