So here’s my confession: I’m not nearly as eco-friendly or energy efficient as I should be, as I could be. But slowly and surely, I’m making changes. I drive an economical vehicle, and I try to plan and execute my errands and trips so that I don’t waste gas (bonus: I save on having to fill up my tank more often!). And here at home, I do the majority of our wash in the early morning or evening, when electricity rates are cheaper. We have a high efficiency washer and dryer, and I do most loads on cold cycles.
Then there are our lights. Until recently we have been using standard light bulbs. We still have a few here and there, but we switched to CFL light bulbs in our living room and in the bedrooms. Then I read about an opportunity to review Infinity LED Ultra Series LED Light Bulbs. While CFL light bulbs are certainly energy efficient, LED light bulbs are even more efficient. And the Infinity LED Ultra Series LED Light Bulbs are certainly worth writing home about. Each of these specialty bulbs contains 88 small LED lights which are evenly distributed, and together put out 35,000+ continuous hours (that’s 4 years) worth of lighting. You can save up to 93% of your lighting costs per bulb when you use these bulbs.
Infinity LED Ultra Series LED Light Bulbs are available in two color temperatures – cool white, which is more of a blue light like what you would find in stores and medical offices; and warm white, which is more of a yellow light like what you would find in homes. While cool lighting can certainly have its place in homes (such as in bathrooms, kitchens, and garages), I’m a fan of warm lighting.
Then there’s the wattage – the 3W power consumption is equivalent to that of a 40W incandescent bulb, and would be appropriate for small rooms and reading lamps. The 4W power consumption is equivalent to that of a 60W incandescent bulb, and is perfect for living rooms, family rooms, and bedrooms.
We popped out our CFL light bulbs and replaced them with the Infinity LED Ultra Series LED Light Bulbs, and with the exception of brightness (our CFL light bulbs had a wattage equivalent to a 100W incandescent bulb), there’s no difference in the light temperature, its steadiness, and how well it comes through the lamp shades. Here are the before and after shots:
My husband and I are quite satisfied with the quality of the Infinity LED Ultra Series LED Light Bulbs, and we’re both excited to see how our electricity bill might change – especially once we replace all of the bulbs in our house with LED light bulbs. Yes, LED light bulbs are pricier than even CFL light bulbs (right now the 3W/40W equivalent LED light bulb is $15.75), but they are much more energy efficient, and are designed to last a lot longer – so it won’t be long until they pay for themselves!
