Is it as simple as just changing a lamp?

As your incandescent lamp burns out, consider switching to LED. By now, you probably know that LEDs have an impressive lifespan (20+ years!) and are very cost-effective.

Despite the higher cost than a standard lamp, now’s the right time to switch to LEDs. These lamps have made significant advances over the last few years, finally delivering the warm light which incandescent has comforted us with for decades.

Contrary to common belief, wattage isn’t an indication of brightness, but a measurement of how much energy the lamp draws. For incandescent, there is an accepted correlation between the watts drawn and the brightness, but for LEDs, watts aren’t a great predictor of how bright the lamp will be. For example, the right LED lamp with comparable brightness to a 50-watt incandescent is only 4 to 6 watts.

This is only one of the things to consider when looking at converting your home or work place to LED.
