LED vs Incandescent Light Bulbs - What's the Difference?

As you look for ways to save money, your lights are often the last thing you consider. What you may not realize is that lighting fixtures constitute a large percentage (as much as 40%) of electric utility bills.

A new product that is on the market and YPR is looking to begin using is LED recessed lighting. The light quality is better than regular incandescent light bulbs (and CFL bulbs for that matter) and the potential savings LED lighting offers is well worth a look. At a glance, LED recessed lighting differs from your everyday incandescent light bulb in a few important ways:

• A LED light bulb consumes 75% less energy compared to 65W BR30 incandescent lamp
• LED bulbs have a projected 50,000 hour life (or 22.8 years at 6 hours of usage a day!)
• Uses less than 15 watts
