Everyone always talks about “going green”. Sometimes, it is too much, as it seems everywhere nowadays. And there is a perfectly good reason for that. Sometimes, the steps needed to “go green” are the very same steps that come with lower costs and improved efficiency. The best example of this is, of course, LED light bulbs. Learn how these amazing pieces of technology can save you considerable money over time.

Less Energy Usage Means Lower Electric Bill

How many of us go from room to room daily, checking to ensure all the lights are off before leaving? Some of us are lucky to have something like Google Home or Alexa that can control all lights with one simple command. Those of us who don’t still have to worry that leaving on all those lights will run up our electric bill. Home automation would be amazing in every single home, but the one constant that can help save you money, home automation aside, is switching to LED light bulbs. On average, an LED bulb can use 75% less energy than your standard incandescent light bulbs.

Longer Life and More Durability Means Less Changing

Because LED technology is vibration and impact-resistant and has a life span of roughly 50,000 hours, changing bulbs constantly is a thing of the past. Compared to the 1,200 hours you get from normal incandescent bulbs, the LED bulbs seem too good to be true. Not only will you spend less on your electric bill, but you won’t replace them nearly as often. That is precisely why you see the price of LED bulbs a little higher than normal light bulbs in your stores. We assure you the price is well worth it.

Environmental Impact

As if saving money and increasing the lifespan of your light bulbs wasn’t enough, LED bulb technology makes the whole thing safer and cleaner. LED light bulbs do not contain any toxic mercury, which has been a subject in the past with light bulbs, and they also decrease CO2 emissions. So, to say that LED light bulbs are a great step towards being “green” would be an understatement.
