Forget Fluorescent Save Money With LED

You may have been hearing more and more people talk about LED lights. Why are they so much better then our new super power florescent? They use less energy and don’t have mercury in them! Pretty much everything you hate about florescent are fixed with LED.
LED Light Bulbs do use about 90% less energy then an incandescent light bulb, you know those old bulbs you have somewhere. They also start working quickly when turned on, unlike a florescent bulb that needs a few seconds to warm up. An LED lamp is rated at 100,000 hours that means that is should be almost 20 years before you have to replace it, of course this does depend on your use of the bulb.
If your wondering what type of LED bulb to get check out the comparisons below.
* 3W High Power LED Bulb = 30W incandescent flood.
* 7W High Power LED Bulb = 50W incandescent flood.
* 12W High Power LED Bulb = 85W incandescent flood.
I hope this will help you with your fears of buying LEDs and that you will check it out. Try switching a few of your mostly used lights to LEDs and see over a year how much you save.

Thank you for that website. I’ve just finished looking at it and I love their set up. I also love how they donate a tree every time you buy. I will be using them when I order just for that!
Hi Holly,
I got your message. I love the Plant– Tree-for-every-LED they sell part of Eaglelight too. I forgot to mention that. Thanks for reminding me! : )
It sounds as if you’re as committed to our planet as I am. I’m so glad you’ve got this blog to spread the word to get people to BUY LED lights and replace their incandescents and CFLs!
Thank you!!
S-
Yah, those little bulbs rock! And they don’t get hot either, so if you are going out of town, and have them on a timer, you don’t have to worry about them getting hot.
Yes that is another great benefit of LED’s I love them for that reason too!
I agree and thanks for your comparisons of energy equivalence. I have bought some LED bulbs online (which is much cheaper and better selection than in the stores) and I’ve already made up the cost with savings on my electric bill.
My favorite LED bulbs are the PAR20 LED, the 36 LED VIVID C.Crane bulb, and one called the Pharox, which is a fantastic replacement bulb for my 40 watt incandescents because the Pharox looks just like a regular light bulb and has a very nice soft, warm glow to the light.
I get my LEDs at http://www.eaglelight.com becuase they have the best selection and great prices and customer service. They have a money-back guarantee on all their bulbs so it’s a good way to try out LEDs and see if they work for you.
Eaglelight also had very good customer service- a business owner actually returned my phone call with a lot of helpful information.
