LED Upgrade Tips
A whole-home LED upgrade is one of the easiest ways to reduce your energy bills. Here's how to make the most of your investment.
Start with High-Use Areas
Prioritize rooms where lights are on the longest - living rooms, kitchens, and home offices deliver the fastest payback.
Match the Lumens, Not Watts
A 60W incandescent produces ~800 lumens. Look for LED bulbs with similar lumen output, not wattage.
Consider Color Temperature
2700K for warm, cozy spaces (bedrooms). 3000-4000K for kitchens and work areas. Keep connected rooms consistent.
Check Dimmer Compatibility
If you have dimmer switches, buy "dimmable" LEDs. Standard LEDs may flicker or not work with older dimmers.
Common LED Replacement Guide
| Old Bulb | LED Equivalent | Lumens | Energy Saved |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40W Incandescent | 6W LED | 450 lm | 85% |
| 60W Incandescent | 8-9W LED | 800 lm | 85% |
| 75W Incandescent | 11W LED | 1100 lm | 85% |
| 100W Incandescent | 14-15W LED | 1600 lm | 85% |
Pro Tip: Bulk Buying
Buy LED bulbs in multi-packs for significant savings. A 10-pack often costs 30-40% less per bulb than singles. Popular home improvement stores and online retailers offer the best deals.
