well, you could decorate with EL Wire (Electroluminescent Wire) & be just as green & have a really cool “futuristic” look…

Can someone talk about the type of light output that an LED has compared to CFL. My understanding is that a CFL puts out light that can fade paint, furniture as well as aid in the cause of headaches where as LED’s do not. LEDs dot flicker (Only when there is a bad quality dimmable driver inside) or when they are using AC LEDs like the acriche models that run straight in 120V AC. Roofers In Fife

In the states, the push is for florescent replacements which cause a great many people migraines.
This LED bulb is wonderful choice no matter the cost!

LED area great plus but the costs are whoopingly high and also not available easily i searched for the led lights for pretty long time now but could not get it.
Where a cfl costs any where between Rs.150/to 300/- led bulbs cost 750/- thats too high

I’m renovation my house and definitely going down the LED route.

Would be nice if the article included the actual cost of replacing the bulbs along with the energy saved
i.e. initial costs to replace the bulbs was xx but this is offset by the “whopping savings of $1,236.52 in energy costs over 5 years.”
As that is definitely the question that’s people will ask at some point.

The fact that the ambient LED dims nicely is a big plus — compact CFLs have been a major disappointment in that department.

Love this feature. Very well done! Interesting to see that many of the eco-material lamps didn’t use LED lighting. Also refreshing that the designers seemed so mellow about the switch-up.

The LEDs really do give off a warm glow. Given that, there’s really no reason to stick with incandescents!

LED bulbs are amazing. Who doesn’t want to save money and at the same time not have to constantly change burnt out bulbs.

This is incredibly helpful and thorough. Thanks so much. I think finally this video puts to rest the notion that green lighting is inferior.

Got the L-prize bulb on our front porch light, makes a big difference compared to 18 watt CFL.

Love the “warm light” LED’s offer. Not to mention the pocket book savings and energy reduction.

It’s great to see the comparison between the incandescent and LED bulbs – I was really impressed with the warm light, and many of the lamps look even better with LED bulbs!

viva la LED revolution! great to see how many watt options are available now, from low light to very bright — and all give off warm light!
