LED Light Bulbs
- Cut your electricity costs – ENERGY STAR® LEDs use at least 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs. You can save up to $6 annually on your electricity costs for each bulb you replace. An LED bulb will typically pay for itself in less than a year.
- Save on replacement bulbs – Don’t lose money and waste man hours replacing bulbs. LED bulbs can last up to 30,000 hours – that’s nine years if you use your lights for eight hours a day. These long lasting bulbs are also convenient for hard to reach places.
- Easy to install – Saving energy can be as easy as screwing in a lighting bulb.
- Better lighting performance. LEDs come on instantly, are dimmable, maintain light levels over time and provide higher quality light output and colour rendering.
