LEDs: A Bright Idea for Stocking Stuffers

It's unlikely that anyone in your household has asked Santa for a gift of energy savings but slipping an energy-efficient lightbulb into a stocking could be a good way to keep energy efficiency top of mind this holiday season. 

LEDs use up to 75% less energy than traditional incandescent lightbulbs and can last for 10 years or longer. They use a lower wattage to produce the same amount of light and are safer since they don’t produce heat. 

Most incandescent bulbs are banned from stores by now. But if you still have some burning in lamps or overhead light fixtures, now is a good time to change them.

Using less energy for lighting means a lower energy bill for you—and more money to spend on other stocking stuffers.

Or you can surprise your family members with fun, new bedroom lamps that burn an LED light that’s built right into the fixture and never needs changing.
