Switch to LED Bulbs and Save $200/Year

The Problem

Incandescent bulbs waste 90% of energy as heat and burn out every few months.

The Hack

Replace every bulb with LED equivalent. 60W equivalent LED uses only 8W. Now $1-2 each at Walmart.

Why It Works

LEDs convert electricity to light instead of heat. One LED lasts 25,000 hours vs 1,000 for incandescent.

Pro Tips

• Start with most-used lights — kitchen, living room
• LEDs now come in warm white (2700K) — identical look
• Full house swap = $200+/year savings
• Dimmable versions available for $2-3
