Is anyone else buying household LEDs?
I just noticed that October 2011 Consumer Reports rates energy-saving lighting including LEDs. They note Compact Fluorescents use "75% less energy and last seven to ten times longer" than ordinary incandescent bulbs saving "about $52 per 60 watt-equivalent over a bulb's lifetime" while LEDs "use even less energy and are claimed to last for decades".I would definitely be interested in hearing more about the LEDs. Would you guys want to start a thread?My fifth LED household bulb arrived today. Best yet!
Claimed 7 watts, 720 lumens. $8 including delivery. It seems brighter than a 60 watt incandescent. Some 75 watt bulbs don't claim as many lumens. The price on LEDs is dropping rapidly, last year I see this output cost $40.
Oops GrowFarmers I didn't mean to pull your thread off topic. I encourage you to keep biodiesel in the spotlight.
