A halogen bulb has a tungsten filament; running electricity through it produces a lot of heat, and also some light. By contrast, LED light bulbs utilize solid-state light emitting diode technology. Electricity also travels through LEDs and they also glow, but they are not simple wires; they are compounds pressed together in layered semiconductor chips.

It's easy! Before adding a lamp-ready fixture to your cart, you'll be prompted to select a bulb. Follow the simple guide to select the best light bulb for your specific needs. We also provide an in-depth landscape bulb guide for more information. And of course, if you have questions, just give us a call (813-978-3700). We're happy to help!

Compared to halogen or incandescent bulbs, LED bulbs are: • Much cooler and therefore much less of a fire hazard. • Far more environmentally friendly because the same light output (lumens) can be produced with significantly less energy consumption (wattage). Specifically, 80%-90% of the energy consumed by LEDs is converted to light vs. 10%-20% for incandescent bulbs. • Much less expensive over the long term, again because far less energy is required to produce the same amount of light. If you swapped out all of the bulbs in a landscape lighting system, you'd save thousands of dollars over their lifetime. Use our LED energy savings calculator to determine the savings for your system. • Much longer lasting; a quality LED bulb will have a lifespan of 40,000-60,000 hours, which equals about 15-20 years of use in your landscape lighting system. Halogen bulbs often last just 2000-5000 hours. • More durable, because they have no filaments and therefore can withstand heavy vibrations. Plus, the light projected from VOLT LED bulbs is indistinguishable from halogen bulbs.
