They illuminate by the movement of electrons in a semi-conductive material so they don't heat up, they don't burn out, and they last as long as a transistor does which is a very long time.

The life expectancy and the simplicity of the LED make it very desirable among many different technologies. An incandescent bulb would have to work extremely hard to produce the same amount of light that an LED is capable of producing. Because LEDs don't produce heat they use very little energy which would make them very desirable in a home atmosphere as well.
