Led has many advantages

In these days, it is very hard to save energy for people who have a small business at home. What a lot of people do not know is that a small company can save a huge amount of money per year without being thrifty. The only thing that they have to do is just replace the lightings at home. For example: If you are using incandescent bulbs at home, it wise to change it into LED lightings. Why? Because LED lightings can be placed almost in every corner in your house not just like CFL bulbs and it can reduce your bills by hundreds of dollars per year. Moreover, when you purchase LED lightings it has a lifetime of 25 years which is far longer than the CFL bulb and incandescent lighting. A lot of people ask me why do not use CFL because it is a bit cheaper than the LED. People listen carefully now, when you have to choose between those two, I would recommend you to choose the LED, because CFL has fewer lifetime than LED and is use more energy than LED. Below the text you will see a chart which is very valuable when you considering to buy a CFL or incandescent lighting. Comparison Chart
Bulb Type Lumens Watts Investment Consumption Energy Cost Total Cost
Incandescent 1600 100 $100.00 10000 kWh $1,000.00 $1,100.00
CFL 1600 25 $100.00 2500 kWh $250.00 $350.00
LED 1600 15 $100.00 1500 kWh $150.00 $250.00

Investment based on:
• Incand:$1.00 per bulb x 100 bulbs to equal the lifespan of one LED style bulb
• CFL: $10.00 per bulb x 10 bulbs to equal the lifespan of one LED style bulb
• LED: $100.00 per bulb equal to 100,000 hour lifespan
Consumption based on:
• Kilowatt hours (kWh) of energy used over the course of 100,000 hours
Energy Cost based on:
