Lighten Up With LED Save $



LED light bulbs have come down in price since they first were introduced. As much as 90% some say. It's a proven fact they use much less, 80 to 90 % less, electricity than their predecessor. There is no longer any reason to keep from switching from the incandescent bulb to the LED bulb. If it's the unfamiliar terms keeping you from being confident your making the right choice. Let me shed some,"light" on the subject for you.


Replacement wattage is the wattage of the bulb that you are replacing.

Wattage is the actual amount of electricity the new LED bulb is using. The range of use is usually 8 - 20 watts for a typical LED bulb.

Lumens is the measure of brightness. The more lumens per watts the better. More brightness for less money is the way to go.

Kelvins are represented by a "K" and is the unit of measure for the CCT (correlated color temperature). Living rooms and bedrooms use a "warm" or "soft white" tone (3000 K and below). For a bathroom look for "cool" to describe the most efficient bulb (3100 K - 4500 K) Workshops and outside are the place to put a "daylight" tone LED bulb (4600 K and up).

The word "Dimmable" is added to the packaging if the LED bulb inside works with a dimmer switch.

Guess who is selling LED light bulbs for just one dollar. I don't mean the Dollar General or the Family Dollar. Some people call these two stores, dollar stores. But they are not. True dollar stores are the ones that sell everything for only one dollar. Love, love, love the dollar stores. Don''t you?

Now you know. Get out there and save some money.
