LED Lighting Bulbs Price Drop

We were all anticipating that LED bulbs were to drop in price and it’s great to see this happening so quickly. Here is just one example and it is great to see that Home Depot are one of the front runners in what is bound to be a continuing and ongoing marathon between light bulb manufacturers. LED light bulbs could well be one of the modern saviors for our environment and every price reduction is therefore meaningful.

The EcoSmart LED from Home Depot

Here is a traditional looking screw-in bulb that its manufacturers will guarantee for five years. They can do that in a very cautious estimate of its actual life since they anticipate that it will in fact last for up to a stunning 22 years! I wonder if I will be alive then! At my tender age of 61 I’d be lucky!

The light is rated to produce 429 lumens. So that’s the equivalent of the traditional 40 W incandescent bulb. It will use only one fifth of the energy of the soon-to-be extinct traditional incandescent bulb. They quote that will create a saving of $155 over the life of the bulb. They did not make it clear whether the calculation is for the five-year guarantee or the 22 year life expectancy.

Add This to your Shopping Baskets NOW

Anyway at a cost of just under $20 it’s great to see that LED lighting are becoming much closer to an acceptable level whereby people will casually toss them into their shopping basket without a second thought. They do add that the energy saving and your energy bill will cover its cost in just two years. They suggest that you consider it ended investment but I would think it’s becoming a no-brainer at such a low price – so why talk about investments – let’s just go and buy it. Of course if we wait another month or two will probably save another $2-$5 as these prices will continuously drop. Unfortunately our environment can’t wait so here is an excellent product that we should all embrace. Furthermore, it seems that being cheap doesn’t just mean it’s a poorer quality, cold blue light. Reading reviews of what others say, it has a natural to warm light.
