The Future of Lighting - LED Bulbs

The LED lighting craze started with our Christmas lights and moved to our flat screen televisions.  Now the future of lighting is moving toward LED bulbs at a rapid pace.  You can purchase LED lights now in different light levels, light colors, energy consumptions, and bulb types.  These bulbs are found in a variety of fixtures, in different colors, in different styles, and are presently compatible with dimmers.  Bulbs vary in shape:  omnidirectional, globe, candelabra/flame, track, and flood.  It is really a no brainer since using them instead of the incandescent bulbs cost less and lasts 25 times longer.

I recently went bulb shopping at Home Depot for a burned out oven fan bulb.  It was a new hood with a specialty bulb.  The incadescent bulb had burned out in 4 months.  The salesman at Home Depot explained that the LED bulb burned cooler plus would last for 22 years.  The incandescent would last 4 months at $5.35 versus the LED lasting  22 years at $12.00.  The answer seems pretty clear.
