LED lights have a bright future

Many homeowners interested in energy efficiency are switching to LED lights as an alternative to compact fluorescent lights. CFLs are much more energy efficient than old-fashioned incandescent lightbulbs. But LED lights even have CFLs beat in terms of efficiency and longevity.

"LED" stands for Light-Emitting Diode, another name for the semiconductor material used to excite electrons and produce light in an LED. The diodes that make up an LED light are small, which is why LED lights for home use typically contain many individual diodes —a factor that contributes to the higher cost of these lights.

But LED lights may well be worth the extra expense when you do the numbers. For example, when on all the time, a 60-watt incandescent light bulb can cost more than $90 per year to operate, while a CFL will consume roughly $24-worth of electricity to produce the same amount of light. But an equivalent LED bulb will cost only about $9 per year to operate, and provide over 50,000 hours of light (1 year = 8760 hours)

Dr. Energy Saver stocks LED bulbs that we can install for you at the time we complete any other work your home may need to make it energy efficient.
