bulbs cost less
than $ 10 and studies have shown that LED

efficient and last up to 50 times longer
than the
incandescent bulbs.
LEDs are far more energy
efficient, durable and dynamically adjustable
than incandescent bulbs, and the U.S. and several other nations are aggressively incentivizing their use.
Light - emitting diodes (LEDs) are far more energy
efficient than incandescent or compact fluorescent
bulbs.
As Kyle Pitsor, vice president for government relations at the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, explains, CFLs are 75 percent more

efficient alternatives to
incandescent bulbs: a 15 - watt CFL produces the same amount or more light
