LED lamps are much more efficient than filament lamps.

What does this statement mean?

• LED lamps have a similar power output to filament lamps.

• LED lamps waste a smaller proportion of the input energy than filament lamps.

• LED lamps have a higher power input than filament lamps.

• LED lamps waste a larger proportion of the input energy than filament lamps.
