The Oklahoma Movers Help You Understand Lightbulbs

There is so much talk about lightbulbs lately, from the green trends and the saving money and everything in between. So All My Sons of Oklahoma thought they would help you notice the differences so you can make the best choice for you and your home. The most talked about are the incandescent compact fluorescent lights (CFLs), the halogens and the light-emitting diode (LEDs). The American Lighting Association says LEDs are the most expensive but are mercury-free. These can be used in other places other than fixtures and lamps. For a cheaper alternative, you can try the CFLs. CFLS appeared in the 80s in the market, they are said to reduce air and water pollution. The benefits are that they produce three to four times more light than the standard incandescent lights with the same amount of energy. Halogens last longer, up to 2,000 to 3,000 hours more and are very easy to replace. You can dim a halogen light which makes it last longer. The incandescent light is being slowly phased out because it uses so much energy. They are very cheap lights, usually less than a dollar of a bulb. There lifespan is low though with much of their energy ending up as heat. They don’ work in tandem with today’s efforts or being greener. The Oklahoma movers hope this blog post helps you choose the right lights for your home.
