LED Efficient Light Bulbs - Electrical Efficiency & Money Saving

L.E.D. powered light bulbs are saving me a ton of money annually.

I have taken the plunge and made some changes in my lighting and electrical set up  and have determined some seriously dramatic potential changes by making the move from incandescent to a much better alternative, LED's!

In the Beginning 

Originally I made some changes from incandescent lighting to fluorescent lighting, however I found the cost of the bulbs and the life to be less dramatic than I had expected and even wanted. I then did some reading and it was brought to my attention that Money Saving LED Lighting is now available in a simple 110 volt version that easily replaces some of my lighting needs in the house.

LED's are most definitely the way of the future, originally they were ridiculously expensive as a feasible alternative to incandescent lighting or even fluorescent lighting. Typically the bulb prices ran in the double digit dollar range! That made the payoff and even the break even somewhere in the range of solar power, about 10 years or so.

I found a solution - affordable, Money Saving LED Light Bulbs.

LED's are seriously efficient.

They are so primarily because they do not produce any noticeable heat.  In fact about 90% of the energy used to light a filament based incandescent light is used to produce heat! Most of us know that electric heat is not a viable solution, especially at today's home electrical heating prices.

Enter eBay. 

After scrounging around the internet, I came across some LED bulbs on eBay, that not only fit my E26 MR16 bulbs that are used in the exterior lighting of my home, but they were affordable. I have 3 of these nasty E26 based M16 sized bulbs in the eaves of my house, bulbs that my electritian picked out and they used to cost me about $12 to $20 a pop to buy. There were a specialty item that no one stocked and I had to buy them online from a specialty outfit.

LED QUEST COMPLETE

I came across the suckers pictured below, M16 size E26 Base 110v (standard US Home voltage) bulbs, the seller was selling them in pairs for about $18 a set, delivered. I only needed 3 but I swallowed it and bought the extra one.
