they are not LED, or at least the ones I have by them are not, they are the compact fluorescent, but, I really, really, really like them. Not too much power draw, very nice and bright light and they have a dual control for hi-power or low-power, as well as a red LED lighting option (also dual for high and low) for nightlight, so your night vision is spoiled going down below while passage-making. Everyone I know who has these lights loves them.
