Does your lighting make you feel like this?

LEDs are the most energy efficient light sources since they consume less energy than other types of light sources and last longer.

LED lighting can save up to 85 percent of the electricity used by incandescent bulbs.

That's the amount of money that could be saved in the United States with widespread adoption of LED lighting by 2025.

One LED light can last 50,000 hours or longer. It could take 10 CFLs and 50 incandescent bulbs to reach the lifetime of one LED light.

Lighting is the single biggest user of electricity at 22 percent.

LEDs don't contain any hazardous materials, such mercury, like fluorescent lighting.
