LED: Cost Effective and Long Lasting
Light Emitting Diode (LED) has improved over the past decade to offer the most efficient lighting source on the market. LED lasts up 6 times longer than compact fluorescent lights and 42 times longer than incandescent bulbs. LED offer lower wattage per lumen and can replace almost any other light in use today. This means that you pay less for lighting replacements, but also less for your energy costs and can efficiently satisfy any lighting need.
