ABOUT LED LIGHTBULBS
LED LIGHT BULBS
There is a new kind of light bulb out now, the LED light bulb. This Bulb fits in a standard light bulb socket and is filled with bright Light Emitting Diodes. Compared to the standard incandescent bulb, or even to the highly efficient CFC(Compact fluorescent bulb) the LED uses miniscule amounts of electricity.
They also tend to last forever – manufacturers claim lifetimes of 40,000 to 60,000 hours. (Normal light bulbs can have a lifetime of up to 1000 hours).

The Real cost of lighting:
The greatest expense over the lifespan of a typical light fixture is your electricity, the cost of the
light fitting and even installation is negligible in the long run. By changing to energy efficient
lighting the extra costs of the new technology can be recouped in a short period.
LED bulbs and tubes last longer than cfc, rsquo;s and incandescent. With replacement,
maintenance and labor costs being higher than the original fitting, total saving with long life LED
lights can be very significant.
