Light Advantages:
More robust (If the LEDs are not shielded they pretty much explode on any sort of impact)
Brighter
I'll agree with the robustness but not with the brightness. LED's are slowly replacing the light bulb because of their brightness. I have noticed that a lot of stop lights on Long Island use LED's. I can actually see the individual LED's when I drive by. Also, there has to be a compromise. You don't want to blind the people working the robot. I wonder if there is a differnce in the power consumption between the LED's and the revolving light.
