Product Review:Lights of America LED Light Bulb
Or, are you ready to replace your incandescent light bulbs with energy saving LED technology?
Great new technology or wasted money?
Is this posting from the “We wasted our money on this – so you don’t have to” or the “New Technology you should know about department”? You decide.
About a year ago LED light bulbs were priced at about $35 and above. You can look at the C.Crane VIVID light bulb here – http://www.ccrane.com/lights/led-light-bulbs/cc-vivid-led-light-bulb.aspx. These are priced at $19.95 at the time of this writing. And there are other versions here – http://www.ccrane.com/lights/led-light-bulbs/cc-vivid/
Your mileage may vary, but for me, its all about the quality of the light – I don’t care how much it cost (within reason) I want good quality light. My house is nearly exclusively General Electric Reveal bulbs ( http://www.gelighting.com/na/home_lighting/products/reveal_main.htm ) and Halogen. No substitutes, please.
Ac/costed at Sam’s Club
While walking down the aisles of Sam’s Club I was accosted by a package of LED light bulbs priced at $14 for a set of three. That’s $5 each. Now that’s a price drop. What’s the real deal?
