Save Money With Lights

Working in a lighting company for more than 5 years, I have learned a lot about lighting and now understand many different terms such as LED, Lumens, CFL, output/input...etc.

However, although I understood the ‘concept’ of them, I didn’t actually feel they mattered much to my real life, as my mom was the one who took care of purchasing our home supplies.

Then I started living by myself…and I quickly realized every penny counts, especially when it comes from my own pocket. :-)

The first thing that matters the most to me is the electric bill. So a few weeks after moving into my own place, I started looking for Compact Fluorescent lamps to replace all of the Halogen lamps (I do this apparently because I’m working in a lighting company ). Moreover, since I listen to the benefits of using LEDs every day, I ended up purchasing a $40 LED lamp with the equivalent to a 60W halogen lamp for my bathroom, because they don’t get hot and are ok for damp location!Although I spent that money, and the effort to change the lamps, it was worth every penny, because compared to the month I was using Halogens as my lamp source, my electricity bill reduced by around 7%.

Now, who wants some FREE 60W halogen lamps :-)
