CONTINUING TO USE INCANDESCENT LIGHT BULBS
You can keep buying incandescent or halogen bulbs if you’d like, but you’re wasting time and money. A $1 incandescent bulb lasts 1,200 hours, requires 21 changes in 23 years, uses $180 worth of electricity and costs a total of $201 over a 23-year lifespan.
An LED bulb, on the other hand, costs $8 or less, lasts 25,000 hours, uses $30 of electricity over that same 23-year span, and doesn’t need changing. Yes, $8 is more expensive than $1, but $201 is a lot more costly than $38.
