Hello all, You may be hearing these days about a rational exuberance for the housing and construction markets. Indicators are pointing to positive direction and lots of companies are buying "Caterpillar's" large scale construction equipment. This may be a good sign that the country may start to really build again. So with that said what kind of light are we going to install? The EcoSmart A19 8.6-Watt (40W) LED Light Bulb can replace a standard 40-watt bulb. The LED bulb puts out 429 lumens with 8.6 watts of power and can last up to 46 years for extended use. The bulb is designed for indoor use and features an A-line shape and medium base. This bulb is dimmable and has nice Color Temperature (K) at 3032 K. That will give you the look of your old incandescent. So go out to your local big box construction store and slowly start to convert your high use light fixtures first with this LED replacement.This approach is also good because the price will continue to drop. It will save you money in the long run. If you run your incandescent bulb in New England it will generally cost you $2.15 per month for about 4 hours a day of use. So if the bulb last about 5 years or 50,000 hours as the manufacturer suggests you will be doing good.
