than incandescents, consume less
energy, and have come down in price — now often just $ 10.
Update Light Fixtures If the house still has
incandescent light
bulbs in its fixtures, then it's likely using much more
energy than it needs to.
LED
bulbs cost arguably three to six times more
than an
incandescent bulb but this acquisition cost is small compared to their lower

In addition to the initial cost saving, LED
bulbs typically last 25 times longer
than incandescent bulbs, which are being phased out due to more stringent government
energy requirements.
Although these
bulbs are typically more expensive
than incandescents, they last longer, can be dimmed and conserve
energy.
Fluorescents Available in long tubes and compact
bulbs, fluorescents last 10 times longer
than incandescents, burn about five times brighter, consume less

Today, they are being heavily promoted as versatile,
energy - efficient alternatives to
incandescent bulbs: a 15 - watt CFL produces the same amount or more light
than a 60 - watt
