Small changes like switching over to LED bulbs<\/a> can have a big impact. LED bulbs are cost-effective, energy efficient, long lasting and mercury free – making them beneficial<\/a> both for you and the environment.<\/p>\n

About LEDs<\/strong><\/p>\n

LED technology<\/a> has revolutionized lighting<\/a> and only continues to improve over time.\u00a0 Each LED, or Light Emitting Diode, has amazing longevity with a lifespan of 25,000 to 50,000 hours. In comparison,\u00a0the average life of an incandescent bulb is only 2,000 hours.<\/p>\n

Have you ever noticed that LED light bulbs are cool to the touch as opposed to incandescent bulbs that emit large amounts of heat? That lack of heat means that there is minimal energy lost from your LED lightbulb! LED’s have the ability to operate at 80% efficiency whereas incandescent bulbs only operate around 20%,\u00a0the remaining percentage of energy in both bulbs is lost as heat. Along with reducing energy cost, the LEDs more efficient use of energy makes them safer to use in your home than other light bulbs which can be fire hazards.<\/p>\n

While it might cost a few dollars more upfront to purchase an LED bulb, you will absolutely save money in the long run. A longer lifespan means less frequent bulb replacements, and less energy lost makes for a lower electric bill.\u00a0There’s really no downside to switching to LED’s.<\/p>\n
