HOW TO: Switch Your Bulbs to LEDs To Get Ready for the Incandescent Bulb Phase-OutBy now, most of you have probably heard about the incandescent light bulb phase-out starting this year (likely as a result of the ridiculous political bickering about the lighting legislation in the count-down to the end of 2011). However, a quick survey of your friends will reveal that few of us actually understand what it entails. The law is merely a way to encourage consumers to purchase more energy-efficient light bulbs - such as LEDs - that will save money and energy, both resources that we could all use more of at the moment. If you're still unclear about what the incandescent phase-out means in terms of what kinds of light bulbs you'll be able to find at stores in the coming years, or how you can switch toLED light bulbs while still maintaining the same quality and quantity of light supplied by your old incandescents, read on as we spell it out for you in our easy guide. And though we will be seeing less and less of Thomas Edison's most famous invention over the next few years, we think that even Mr. Edison would be swapping his incandescent bulbs for LEDs if he were alive today!1
