What makes LEDs safer?（OKLEDLISHTS COM）?

OKLEDLIGHTS COM Said that Since they are based on solid state electronics the risk of snapping a filament or cracking a gl due to vibrations are miniscule. A large portion of the electricity is converted to light – this means lower heat production, cool operation, low risk of accidental fires or scalding. A less appreciated benefit stemming from cutting edge LED based lighting devices is that they do not contain mercury. Mercury was a major drawback for energy efficient lighting until LEDs came into the picture. You either had 5 milligrams of mercury from coal burning power plants or 5 milligrams of mercury from a fluorescent light – the choice between the fire and the frying pan was hardly appealing. Safe disposal facilities for mercury sequestering and recycling are the only solution to this toxic element from fluorescent lights. But reverse logistics and operation of safe recycling facilities add to the carbon footprint of fluorescent lights. Added to this is the fact that not all these lights will be safely disposed and a neuro-toxicant will continue to aculate unabated in land and water. Why not substitute that fluorescent light with an LED tube? With LEDs, disposal date itself is a decade from now! And there isn’t any mercury to contend with.
