LED light sources are widely regarded as superior to halogen, and there are a few reasons for this. Of course, one of them is the power consumption of the two devices. Experts report that LED lighting fixtures use about 85% less energy than halogen bulbs. Also, this marked decline doesn’t affect the light output at all. Users of LED lights, therefore, end up saving on utility bills much more than they would if they used other types of fixtures.
Another feature that favors LED is the lifespan of the light. Generally LEDs last ten times longer than their counterparts. Nevertheless, this is a double-edged sword in regards to outdoor motion sensor lights. The LEDs themselves are permanent fixtures in most of the solar and battery powered motion sensor lights. As such, once a gadget stops functioning, you have to replace it with a new one. On the other hand, fixtures that use the halogen option only require you to replace the bulb occasionally.
