As LED bulbs become more readily available, it is not clear that people fully appreciate how instantaneously they can benefit from this technology. Without a doubt, they last longer than incandescent bulbs, provide more efficient lighting at lower cost, and some can even be programmed by voice commands or wirelessly. Most importantly, they are affordable! When selecting LED bulbs, color temperature rating (or Kelvin) indicate the color output of the bulb. Generally speaking, we recommend ratings under 3000K (warm/ soft/white) for interior lighting. Ratings between 3500K to 5000K are considered cold white and recommended for exterior lighting. Ratings higher than 6000K put out a more natural/daylight/vivid light which may be preferred for commercial/public settings or to illuminate artwork. These are general guidelines, your particular application may specify different requirements.
For the homeowner or businesses that have not wholesomely adopted LED bulbs yet, do so today and watch your utility bill go down dramatically. Specifically, watts used will be less and charges levied per watt will therefore be less. Typically, an LED bulb rated at 9W is a suitable replacement for a 40W incandescent, while a 16W-20W LED is equivalent to a 100W incandescent. The savings are self-evident! This efficiency is why we embraced LED bulbs. The run-times of the solar generators we sell are extended with LED light bulbs. They provide better lighting while consuming less energy.
We sell Feit Electric LED bulbs on our ebay site www.ebay.com/str/metrosolarmatics and use them in our office. We like their reliability, and the fact that the US manufacturer stands squarely behind its products, with extended product warranty.
