Are you using CFL bulbs (Compact Floresecent Light)? They're so old fashioned!

A much newer technology than CFL bulbs are LED bulbs! CCrane introduced the first 60-watt direct replacement LED bulb about four years ago, the GeoBulb. When Leo did the GeoBulb as a Turn The Table Tuesday pick, it cost more than $100! But now the price has dropped to $39.99. (Don’t forget the first CFL bulbs cost about $30!) The GeoBulb is the same size as a conventional incandescent bulb suitable for direct replacement in any indoor open fixture. It puts out more light than a standard 60-watt bulb but uses less than 8 watts. That’s about 45% less than even CFL bulbs. Also LED bulbs are instant on/off. They don’t take time to reach full brightness. The newest bulb, the GeoBulb3 is built for long lasting durability. It’s the first bulb built to last for about 50,000 hours! It just may be the last bulb you’ve ever have to buy. And you’ll be using just 8 watts of electric instead of 60. That can really offset the price of the bulb. As with CFL bulbs, as people start using them more and more, sales will increase and the prices will drop further and faster. Right now GeoBulbs are not dimmable. Part of the problem is that most dimmers don’t go down to zero watts. So while an incandescent bulb may appear to be off when totally dimmed, a super efficient LED bulb like the GeoBulb would stay on! Available in soft and warm white. Learn more here:
