The benefits of using LED lights are mostly reliability, convenience, and energy efficiency. LED lights are far more energy-efficient than traditional bulbs; LED bulbs convert around 90% of the energy they use into light; conversely, approximately 90% of the energy used by incandescent bulbs is lost as heat, so you only get a 10% return in light for each unit of energy (Watt) which means you are literally burning the other 90% of your money; so they are complete opposites. I know which technology I prefer to use. LED bulbs are far more reliable because they don’t have filaments like their older cousin, the incandescent bulb. Filaments can break easily if there is any type of external shock because the filament, which is usually made from expensive tungsten, is in a near molten state when lit. To make matters worse, the tungsten becomes increasingly brittle each time the bulb is cycled (heated and cooled). Convenience simply comes down to ease of use, there are many, many LED lighting options out there, and one of the things I like most is the average DIY’r can install much of it themselves, avoiding the extra cost associated with professional installation. However, always consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure that your actions are correct.
