THD In Light Bulbs


I have replaced a 40w incandescent light bulb with a 12w LED light bulb. The new LED is way brighter. In fact, the box says that it's a 75w equivalent. The box also shows something interesting:

Power Factor >.90  
THD: <35%

I've read that LEDs are essentially diodes. How does this affect noise in the mains? Do LEDs inject more, less, or the same amount of THD into the mains as incandescent/fluorescent lights?

LED=light emitting diode
Are you hearing more noise with it on? If not, just enjoy your music.
Best to turn off, unplug  EVERYTHING in your house for true sonic enjoyment.

That's if you follow the "keep the power pure" philosophy.
