7 Reasons to Switch to LED Light Bulbs

If you are still running incandescent or CFL bulbs, switching to LED is one of the simplest upgrades you can make. Here are seven reasons to make the change.

1. Lower energy bills

LEDs use roughly 75 to 80 percent less electricity than incandescent bulbs for the same brightness, which adds up quickly across a whole home.

2. They last far longer

A quality LED can outlast an incandescent bulb many times over, meaning years between changes and far fewer trips up the ladder.

3. They run cool

LEDs give off very little heat, unlike incandescent bulbs that waste most of their energy warming the room and stressing the fixture.

4. Better, more flexible light

LEDs come in warm to cool tones and in dimmable options, so you can match the mood of any room. Look for 2700K to 3000K for a warm, cozy feel.

5. Instant, full brightness

Unlike CFLs that take time to warm up, LEDs come on at full brightness the moment you flip the switch, even in cold garages and basements.

6. More durable

With no fragile filament, LEDs stand up better to bumps and vibration, which makes them ideal for shops, garages, and outdoor fixtures.

7. Better for the environment

Lower energy use means a smaller footprint, and unlike CFLs, LEDs contain no mercury.

Between the savings, the lifespan, and the light quality, LEDs are an easy upgrade. If you would like help switching out fixtures, adding recessed cans, or setting up dimmers, we are glad to help.
