The incandescent light bulb will be phased off the U.S. market beginning in 2012 under the new energy law just approved by Congress. An LED light can last ten times longer than a fluorescent light and fifty times longer than an incandescent light! Unlike fluorescent, halogen and incandescent lights, LED lights have many incomparable features. LED lights are cool, durable, do not contain mercury and do not produce UV. LED lighting lights instantly, can be designed in flexible styles and can provide precise light. Beyond these features, an LED light can generate over 1.5 million colors. In summary, LED lights can make a difference.
The real value of LED bulbs becomes clear when one looks at the total cost of ownership. Assuming electricity costs of $0.124/kwh and 12 to 16 hours of operation per day, an LED bulb costs less to operate than a halogen or incandescent bulb within one year and less than a fluorescent bulb within three years. LED bulbs will soon be present in every home and office.
