Latest thing in lighting!
The LED, or Light Emitting Diode, is one of the fastest growing lighting technologies today, but chances are you have been using LED lighting for decades. Those red, blue, and green indicator lights you see on your T.V., stereo, and computer are all LEDs. Though the LED has been around for over 50 years, recent innovations have made LEDs an economical replacement for incandescent and compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) in household lighting.
There are a number of reasons to celebrate the LED’s emergence into the consumer market. One of the best reasons is that LED lighting can help you save money on your electricity bills. Even counting in the higher purchase price, LEDs save so much electricity, and last so much longer than incandescents and CFLs, that they are the most-economical lightbulbs. Plus, they’re mercury-free. (You can see a comparison of LED, CFL and incancescent lights on the Mass Save website.)
Another reason to celebrate is that the increased use of LEDs has contributed to a reduction in residential energy use, so less electricity has to be generated from power plants. Energy efficiency programs like Renew Boston have contributed to cleaner air by helping residents to make their homes more comfortable and affordable while using less energy.
Renew Boston no-cost home energy assessments have always included the replacement of incandescent bulbs with energy-saving CFLs, but now the assessments include the installation of one LED too.
