One Response to LED Lights: A small part in changing the world

    Nice article. I’ve been using and reviewing LED incandescent replacement bulbs for several years now, and I can tell you – they can save you money and the environment – if you do the math. I recently purchased a 9W dimmable LED bulb from a big box store that works well, and while the environmental impact is less in the mercury end of the equation, the cost of the bulb is almost equivalent to that of a CFL, where it will take approximately 4+ years to “pay for itself”. Bottom line is: if you can get a 6W bulb for less than $30 and replace a bulb you use regularly, you can help both the environment and your bottom line. I’ve been especially pleased with the G50-21SMD from everbulb: replaces a 40W bulb at a decent price and hasn’t been a problem at all. Some of the cheaper ones from overseas are sitting in a box waiting for me to disassemble them and make grow-lights out of them when I get the chance.
    Keep up the good writing,
    –Andrew
