LED Savings
The LED lighting revolution has been underway for a while now with promises of bulbs that last for decades and use a fifth of the energy of a compact fluorescent bulb. While the technology has been great for stoplights, camping equipment and that blinking light on your computer tower, LED’s have yet to break into one crucial area; home and office lighting.
The problem is that the bulbs are cost prohibitive for simple domestic applications, but according to Cnet that may be about to change. The price of LEDs has been falling by fifty percent a year for some time now and if the trend holds they will be an affordable home lighting alternative within the next two years.
The potential benefit? With 22% of US energy production going to lighting applications, broad adoption of LED’s could literally save billions of dollars in energy costs and millions of metric tons of carbon emissions.

If you haven't seen it yet, Environmental Defense just launched a searchable guide to energy-saving light bulbs. There are no LEDs on there yet, but we're adding new bulbs as the technology becomes available. The good news is that you can find a great light for almost every lighting fixture right now.
Nowadays, using LED Mini lights become popular maybe because it is safe to use and decrease the consumption in our electric bill. I can say that I am the one who are using LED lights in our house and got the benefit of using that kind of lights.
Using Led lights is very nice idea because of the benefits that it has. Right now I'm using Led lights to conserve energy and besides it is last longer than ordinary bulb.
