The new LED lights are so much cheaper on your electric bill and in the cool white or daylight version, they are much better than

the old soft whites ( Which were actually yellow ) So I took out another mortgage on the house and went out and bought enough for

every light fixture in the place. ( Boy, are those LED bulbs expensive! ) Now here comes the dumb part: I'm reading about how long

these LED bulbs last when I realize that they all have a longer life expectancy than I do.

I am sure going to miss you.

I went with compact florescent that are full spectrum,,,, They give the same vitamin d source as the sun and can help with depression in "wives",,,,,,,, cheaper and about the same energy savings a LED

They have new models that are "fast" start.........

I do have some LEDs as I am starting to instal solar on the Arizona and CA houses,,,,I am using them because my panels are all off grid 12 volt, not 110........

In the two years I have used them in arizona I have seen a reduction in energy bills....

I am also using a "smart" water heater,,,,,,(The hybrid/heat pump will not pay for it self) the unit learns when you use water and save about 200-250 per year,,,,this will pay for itself in 3 years and I bought the extended warranty from lows making it a 15 year unit

I like LED light for out in the garage because they come on full power unlike florescent in cold weather.

Fixed it!

I've started switching over to led. I've cut my electric bill to the point where my $17 dollar base fee is spread out so little that each kWh comes out to 22.5 cents each. Those quarters add up quickly!

I've also figured out that electricity is now 6x more expensive than natural gas per btu.

X2 tried them in poultry houses, I am not a twisty fan. I may try some LED's though. The florescents just didn't last.

Thats is funny,,,,because my wife is in rainy old Washington right now

She called me and said she and her sister were going for a spa day....

LOL


I've had all CFL's in my house for some yrs now, and have only had one go out. In the bathroom, over the tub, inside a closed, flush ceiling fixture, which the early ones say not to do. Too many spares that will likely outlast me, to go for the LED's.
They do take forever to warm up outside, especially in the cold.
