Lighting Information
LED bulbs can be used in many common fixtures in your home, including accent lighting,
track lighting, room lighting and outdoor spotlights. They offer many unique money
and energy-saving benefits over traditional bulbs.
LED bulbs have an exceptionally long lifespan. They can last up to 5 times longer
than compact fluorescent (CFL) bulbs and much longer than traditional incandescent
bulbs. A typical LED light that burns 8 hours a day can last about 17 years before
it needs changing, making LED bulbs an ideal choice for hard-to-reach lights.
LED bulbs have no filament or moving parts, making them extremely durable and low
maintenance.LED bulbs generate almost no heat or UV rays, which can help reduce
air conditioning costs in your home and help keep fabrics and furnishings from fading.
LED bulbs provide greater energy savings by using up to 80% less energy to produce
the same amount of brightness as that of CFLs and incandescent bulbs.
