LEDs light bulbs are a money saving investment
Besides being environmentally friendly, high tech LEDs can save you lots of money in the long run. Not sure? Look at how the 36 LED bulb compares to incandescent and compact fluorescent light bulbs, and see the savings for yourself! Look at the graph (right) or the table below for a more detailed breakdown... although that doesn't even include how much you'll reduce your cooling bill or the time spent changing blown out bulbs. If you want a customized estimate on how much you'd save by switching to LEDs, be sure to check out our LED Savings Calculator. |
