Arizona resident converted his entire home to LED lighting


Using LED lighting could be comfortable and it almost could be placed everywhere in the house.


Two years ago, Roger Deane from Scottsdale, Arizona contacted LED magazine and said that he has converted all his lighting into LED lighting. His first experiment was to convert his outdoor lighting, and once this was done, his electric bill plummet by approximately $20 per month. Other advantages of LED lights were that they do not emit as much heat as the old incandescent bulbs did.

Before the project he had six double light "shop" lights which were gobbling up over 560 watts. “I now only use approx. 60 watts doing the whole garage with 20 PAR20 lamps on track lighting. Also, the garage is air-conditioning and well insulated, there are also savings from not having those HOT tubes and ballasts!”

LED lighting could be almost used everywhere, even the places where you couldn’t dare to imagine. For example: the LED lighting strips that could be used for under-counter locations where did not have lighting before, or in small cabinets like guest bath, even inside the fridge is possible.

During the project Roger receives a lot positive reactions from his friends about his interior lighting. But they still have apprehension to use it at home. However, once they have used, they will have more positive comments on it.

It has been two years for him to installed LED lights, but he still did not have to replace a single LED bulb yet. This shows how good qualities the LED bulbs are!
