LED light bulbs
LED (light emitting diode) lighting has really taken off in recent years and the move is on to produce high quality low energy LED light sources in more varieties. LED light bulbs have been used for years and years in various electronic applications. The reason they are so promising is they can produce a high amount of light output with a relatively small amount of energy. You can use only a few watts to equal the lumen output of a standard 40 or 60 watt incandescent light bulb. These days, you can even get LED lights that can be screwed into a normal sized light socket, making them truly useful to the average home lighting system.
LED's can be made very small, as there is no filament inside of the bulb. This means a small LED light bulb can produce a very, very bright light indeed. This also means the bulb will last many, many times longer than a normal bulb. In fact, the LED bulb you buy today may actually still be lighting up for you 10, 20, or even 30 years from now. The ultra long lasting light bulbs in the LED line are a larger initial investment, but when you consider the long life and the extremely low energy usage, they pay for themselves in a relatively short amount of time. Does your home or office have a light fixture on a tall ceiling? If so, consider an LED lighting alternative from eLightBulbs the next time you need a replacement bulb. This may very well be the last time you get up on your 13 foot ladder and precariously attempt to get the new bulb in that high socket!
LED lighting affords us one more important option--the use of true, bright, beautiful color in your lighting. LED bulbs can be made in a wide variety of color, which really makes them the ultimate lighting solution for parties, holiday lighting, night clubs, game rooms, or other locations where a fun feeling is desired. Christmas lights have long been chastised for being a large energy waste--well, with new LED christmas lights you will only use a fraction of the electricity you used with older models. And consider this: How would you like your Christmas light sets to last for many, many years, instead of always having to replace the bulbs that seem to burn out every year! The development of these light bulbs is truly a revolutionary idea for holiday lighting.
Some of the models we currently offer are candle LED bulbs, which use only 2.2 watts of power and are shaped in the traditional chandelier style, with a candelabra base. Globe LED bulbs are available, also in 2.2 watts, for a more traditional light bulb application. If you want directional light bulbs for your track lighting or recessed lighting, you can get a flood LED bulb as well. If you use a lot of miniature bulbs, you may find a LED miniature bulb on our website that suits your needs--with the added benefit of lasting for decades instead of hours like the incandescent models.
