~Can screwing lead to lower energy bills?

The Bite
It can if you’re putting light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs into your lamps. Better known as the bulbs behind your laptop screen and Lite-Brite (aww…), LEDs are brighter and cheaper than ever – and just to arouse your interest even more: They’re way more efficient than even compact fluorescents (CFLs).

The Benefits

*Increased flow to your wallet. Although LEDs are currently a lot more expensive out of the gate, replacing an incandescent bulb with one can save you more than $700 over its lifetime.
*Having a planet-gasm. LEDs use less energy than incandescent (about 1/10th) and CFLs (about half), since they produce comparatively little heat – all the energy is used for light.
*Lasting longer. LEDs last about 60,000 hours, compared to 10,000 for CFLs, and 1,500 for old-school incandescents (making LEDs especially great for ceilings, since you almost never gotta change ‘em).
*Mercury free turn-ons. Even if the mercury CFLs contain is minimal, LEDs are even better, with none at all.

Personally Speaking
My family all switched to LED Xmas lights a couple years back, and my friend just got their chance to try it out this season.
