"The Future's So Bright..."

So we're not talking about the Timbuk3 song from 1986, but the bright and exciting future of LED lightbulbs. Lightbulbs, you say? Yawn....

Well, it its sustainable design and in fact, very cool technology. Just read on:

A great website that we found to explain, and sell the benefits of the LED revolution is http://www.ccrane.com

Some of the benefits of using LED bulbs:

• LED bulbs offers a warmer glow, with better color rendering than fluorescents
• LED's do not contain mercury, as fluorescent bulbs do
  
• One LED bulb can last up to 60,000 hours (in comparison, one 60 watt incandescent bulb will last only 1,000 hours)
• Uses only 2-10 watts of electricity (1/3rd of compact fluorescent or 1/30th of incandescent bulbs)
• Cool to the touch, unlike halogen or standard incandescent
  
• Very durable bulb with no filaments to break
• Instant on-off, with no warm-up time
• Fully dimmable

You say that you like your standard incandescent bulbs? Think about having to change the bulbs every year or so, the waste in our landfills, the energy you pay for every day...

Now who wouldn't want to try LED bulbs? Look at the initial cost as an investment, install the bulb and forget about it for the next 20-30 years...
