LED lighting is more energy-efficient, durable, and longer-lasting than fluorescent lighting. Fluorescent fixtures rely on ballasts and contain small amounts of mercury, while LEDs do not require ballasts and are more environmentally friendly.

Fluorescent lights may flicker, buzz, or take time to warm up, especially as they age. LED lights turn on instantly, operate quietly, and maintain consistent light output over time.

Many lighting upgrades involve converting fluorescent fixtures to LED, which can improve reliability, reduce maintenance, and lower energy costs.
