LED Light Bulbs

These things just keep getting Better (more light, less energy consumption) and Cheaper and Slower (to burn out; they last for many, many years). Replacing your old bulbs with LEDs is the easiest and most significant thing you can do to save energy and money. They'll cut your electricity costs by nearly 90% long-term, and each one will outlast a dozen or two of the old-fashioned ones. But they're expensive to get started with. Slowly but surely, I'm replacing all my incandescent and CFL bulbs with LEDs, so I'm staying on top of the ever-changing prices. I'll be changing the product recommendations on this page whenever even Better Cheaper ones become available. The links to the right will always get you the most light per dollar and per watt of electricity. Subscribe now and I’ll keep you current on costs and state of the art in LED lighting, battery-powered lawnmowers, solar power backpacks, Better Cheaper Slower eating and exercising and more. A New Way Every Day for a year - for $10. |
The first group of links lead to products that are replacements for conventional incandescent light bulbs. They screw right in to the old socket.
