Linear LEDs, like all LEDs, use semiconductors to convert electricity into light, making them far more akin to computer chips than light bulbs. Because of this, LEDs offer many more technological advantages over conventional fluorescent lights.
LEDs are directional light sources, reducing the need for reflectors and diffusers that can trap light within the fixture and decrease the efficiency.
LEDs convert energy to light more efficiently than other sources, and when combined with improvements in fixture design, can lead to improved fixture efficiency as well.

Quality LED products have the potential to last three to four times longer than traditional fluorescent lamps.
LEDs turn on at full brightness almost instantly with no strike delay, even when cold, making LEDs a smart choice inside cold locations, such as walk-in refrigerators, cold storage facilities and outdoor areas like parking lots.
LEDs are resistant to breakage and heavy vibrations because they do not have filaments or glass bulbs.
Quality LEDs can last longer when properly matched to their application, lowering maintenance costs.
LEDs offer a potentially reduced environmental footprint because they are mercury-free and the lighting industry has reduced other environmental toxins.
LEDs’ compact form and low profile allows for more flexibility in luminaire design.
Quality LEDs can be dimmed, although care must be taken to ensure compatibility between the different hardware devices (e.g., the driver and dimmer). Adding lighting controls can eliminate over-lighting and greatly enhance savings.
