If you have ever looked at your electricity bill and them immediately went and turned of a light (or ten), (haven’t we all done that?!), except maybe for those lucky enough to have full solar electric power, then this is for you!
LED lighting is taking the world by storm. A relatively new technology, high output LED’s used to be the playthings of only NASA and the military, but due to advances in technology, and economy of scale, you can now light almost your entire home with super low power, high output LED lights. Bulbs are made today to replace most common standard lightbulbs, from low voltage to your standard good ol’ Edison lightbulb. Many are now DIMMABLE, and wattages are available to replace most standard bulbs.
The initial investment is high, but the payoff is fast. A recent customer of ours in San Diego replaced all of the lightbulbs in their restaurant with high output LED’s at an initial cost of a few thousand dollars. OUCH! You say… But they came to us only a few weeks later and showed us a $400 PER MONTH SAVINGS on their electric bill! (you can do the math on that). The bulbs are all specified last anywhere from 10 to 20 YEARS under typical usage! (now do the math on that!)
Let’s see…$400 per month…times 12 months…times ten years, = $48,000 savings!
