So we will be giving away a LED bulb this weekend (November 10th-13th) with a clothing or food item to benefit the local Veterans Shelter. This is the next generation LED bulbs with greater output, better color rendering and fully dimmable.
Let's compare LED against an equivalent incandescent light before we look at individual units.

15 Watt 3,000 Kelvin 25,000 Hour Life Dimmable Near Zero Heat |
= - - - - |
75Watt 2,700 Kelvin 750 Hour Life Dimmable 300 Degrees |
The value proposition to LED has always been energy efficiency at now roughly 5 times that of incandescent. The bluish output of the original LEDs has been corrected to emulate the color of the halogen bulb (our whole appliance showroom is LED).
LED also does not project heat into the room like the incandescent at 300 degrees. This is a huge advantage especially with many lights over 50 watt and greater in the room. LED will also not fade artwork.
From November 10-13 with help from NSTAR, we will be giving away LED bulbs (one per household, please) and having a special on some others.

- Bulbrite LED7PAR20WW - Equivalent to a 35R20. Originally $30 (at one time $37.50), now $0...The 7 Watt is equivalent to a 35 watt bulb, which is primarily used in smaller recessed track and recessed.
- Bulbrite LED15PAR30WW - Equivalent to a 75PAR30. Originally $44.99, now $19.99. The 15 Watt is similar to a 75 watt halogen reflector bulb, which is the most common recessed bulb.
- Bulbrite LED20PAR38WW - Equivalent to a 90PAR38. Originally $49.99, now $24.99. The 20 Watt LED is similar to a 90 watt halogen reflector bulb. The 90 watt is for taller ceilings.
The bulb giveaway ends November 13th at 8pm. Once again many thanks to NSTAR and the folks from Cadmus for sponsoring.
