GE Introduces New 25 Watt Replacement Bulb

Fourth of July is coming up.  My birthday (July 7) is almost here too.  Maybe this year…well, a new LED bulb would be kind of a weird birthday gift, wouldn’t it?  When my mom asked, I went with funny for a moment, although it was probably anything but.  I lost my full-time job, but I’m bouncing back.  Jokingly, when she asked what I wanted, the first two things out of my mouth were 1) money and 2) a job.  Especially since we’re still settling into the house we just moved in to.  If I don’t get something soon, we’ll have to move – again.  And I hate moving, don’t you?  But our recent power bill has me thinking a couple LED bulbs might be the perfect gift.  Mind you, since my husband and I both work out of home – either part or full time – our computers and other such devices are always on.  Added to that, there’s a lot of natural light in this house, so we barely ever have the lights on during the day.  But pretty much every bulb in this place is either a money-sucking incandescent or halogen bulb.  So I turned to our website for help.  Thankfully, there are two new solutions to one of my problems (that job thing is a whole other animal).

The possible answer: the GE Energy Smart ® 25W Replacement (4.5W) PAR16 LED Light Bulb in warm white.  It’s Energy Star rated and comes in two versions – a dimmable and a non-dimmable.  It’s perfect for accent lighting, but does just as good in a floor or table lamp.  Like other LEDs, it has a 25,000 hour lifespan.  It cranks out 200 lumens of light (which is what makes it comparable to an incandescent 25W) while using only about 5.5% of the wattage of the incandescent bulb.

This bulb would really cut back on my energy bill.  This one bulb can knock off nearly $57 from my bill over the life of the bulb.  That, of course, won’t pay an entire bill, but it puts that much more money in my pocket, and if I installed eight of these around my house, by the end of the life of the bulb, I could pay my entire electric bill that month.

Now, however, it’s lights out in this house.  Sadly, none of the lights I’ll be turning out is one of these.
