May LED lighting contest winner is racking up the energy savings with home renovations
Minnesota resident Nicole Ronich is always on the lookout for LED lighting. Her father introduced her to LEDs years ago and lately she’s noticed that LED lighting is on the rise. She even recently learned that the Minnesota Twins’ Target Field features display boards lit with LEDs.
So when Ronich saw that Cree was giving away LED lights in a monthly photo contest, her thoughts drifted to her dimly-lit bathroom. She snapped this photo and later won the May LED Lighting giveaway.
Nicole Ronich won the May LED lighting giveaway with this photo.
Here’s what she wrote about her bathroom lighting: “This is an old and hideous light fixture that is so inefficient. It also blows out light bulbs every other week. It gives my bathroom the shadow effect. I hate putting my make up on under it!”
I don’t blame her for not wanting to apply her makeup under this light. Hopefully her new energy-efficient LED lighting will improve lighting conditions in her home. Here’s what she wrote me when I e-mailed her to say she won the May photo contest:
“We have an older home and have been doing a ton of remodeling and updating of appliances to energy efficiency, improving insulation and replacing drafty doors, etc. It has been fun watching the utility bills drop! So, changing to a more efficient light bulb would be another step in the greener direction. My bathroom is going to be one of our last projects and to have better lighting would be awesome.”
If you’re jealous of Nicole’s new LED lighting, then enter our June LED Lighting giveaway for a chance to win some energy-efficient lights of your very own. Here’s how easy it is to enter:
- Snap a photo of bad lighting in your home or office
- Submit it to CreeLEDRevolution.com
Then, maybe I’ll be writing about your new lights soon! Congrats, Nicole!

Hi, I love you article. I’ve been searching for a good yellow lighting for my room of collectibles. I’m also environment conscious, what kind of lighting would you recommend? I’ve been reading some articles about “Collection display lighting“, they say that LED is eco-friendly?
These are great lights and can be used anywere they also save a lot of energy and therefore that makes them energy efficient.
whatever,cree led is the best quanlity,but if you can reduce the price,i think will have many many people use it.
Wow! What a creative way to take something old, and make it new and eco-friendly! Congrats to Nicole all the way from Australia!
LED lights are great, they are a lot more energy efficient while staying at the same price. I would highly recommend LED’s to others as they can work anywhere inside or outside and in the long term save you money on your energy bills.
I wouldn’t be surprise if LED lights replace the traditional lights. LEDs are very cost effective and can adapt anywhere.
