A client of ours works at the local Almvigs appliance and design center in the Roosevelt area. While they have loads of gorgeous bath and kitchen items to drool over they are also carrying a product I’d like to see more available (and more affordable) in this area…. LED lighting.
These fantastic little, yet hyper-bright, lights are the up and coming favorite for lowering our energy needs in the USA when it comes to lighting a home. Incandescent lights burn up a lot of energy and even CFL’s, while better, don’t match up to LEDs (light emitting diodes) because of energy needs, limitations on use, and concerns about mercury when being disposed (they should be recycled). We’ve had LEDs around for years and they are being used in traditionally manufactured commercial products and auto manufacturing for use in car lights.
If you’re a homeowner, renter, or landlord who is trying to lower your electric bills this is one way to start doing that as well as providing a mercury free lighting source.
