LED Light Bulb can last 6 years

Incandescent light bulb, invited by Thomas Alva Edison on 1879, changed the world. However incandescent bulbs are notoriously inefficient, giving off about 98% of their energy as heat. Compact fluorescents presented a more efficient alternative, but the next big lighting revolution is the LED (light emitting diode).

While there has been growth in the number of organizations using LEDs, the issue of expensive upfront costs is still a concern for many consumers. The average rated life of 50,000 hours--imagine going almost six years without replacing a bulb! LED lights are also extremely durable and hard to break because they’re built of only solid materials.

Further money savings are realized because of an LED light’s unbeatable energy efficiency. LEDs are a top pick for green consumers not only because of their reduced energy and maintenance costs, but also because they contain no mercury or chlorofluorocarbons and are frequently produced from recycled materials.
