According to Boston-based LED retailer, ClimateStore, LED lighting is only expensive upfront, and that the price is worth it in the long run.

1. LEDs use up to 90% less electricity than traditional incanescents and up to 50% less than compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs). That means they’re an easy and impactful way to reduce your carbon footprint.
2. LEDs will actually save you money over the long term. In some circumstances, a single bulb changed saves you $15 per year on your electric bill, meaning the payback time for the investment is reasonable.
3. LEDs typically last a long, long time. In fact, you can pretty much forget about ever changing a dead bulb again! Most manufacturers guarantee them for 5 years and they are expected to last over 25 years. If you have an apartment and might move, you should pack your bulbs and take them with you. This amazing long term reliability will eliminate replacement costs - yet more savings – and simplify your life.
4. The latest generation of LEDs have great light color temperatures. They come in soft white and warm colors that are enjoyable to be around. They’re far more versatile than traditional incandescents and CFLs, and are great for family rooms, ceiling cans, outdoor applications, task lighting in the kitchen, hallways, closets, bathrooms and more
5. LEDs turns on instantly and have no hum or flicker. All LEDs sold by ClimateStore are also fully dimmable, so you can set the mood for a room just the way you like it.
