LED Light Bulbs

Benefits of LED Lights

LED light bulbs can save you money not only because they are roughly 80 percent more energy efficient than other bulbs, they also produce far less heat than metal halides, CFLs, and incandescent light bulbs. Upgrading to LED lighting means you wont spend your summer months cooling down rooms that your light bulbs are busy heating up. While originally a cooler blue tone than incandescent bulbs, LEDs now come in daylight and warm white color temperatures so you can more easily replace your existing bulbs without altering the color of your room. Visit our Lighting Guide to see what difference color temperature makes. LED lighting also offers a superior color rendering index (CRI), so you can see the colors of your artwork or makeup more accurately.

LED replacement bulbs are durable and ecologically friendly. Did you know you can recycle LED bulbs and reduce your carbon footprint up to one third? LEDs outlast the competition, staying bright for up to 11 years of continuous operation. This means less time climbing ladders trying to replace those hard to reach bulbs in vaulted ceilings.

LEDs are one of todays most promising technologies.

LEDs or Fluorescents - Which is More Efficient?

LED light bulbs for the win! When it comes to purchasing energy-efficient lighting, LEDs surpass CFLs by a wide margin. LEDs are instant-start with no warmup time needed. They work well in cold weather, and are substantially more durable since manufactured out of plastic instead of glass. From standard bulbs to fluorescent tubes, LEDs can replicate the same lighting conditions found in fluorescents while lasting longer and using less energy. As an added bonus, all LEDs are RoHS compliant and do not use mercury, a claim that cant be made by fluorescent bulbs.

LED 2 Pin and 4 Pin Lamps

Why Retrofit Your PL Lamps?

Plug-in LED lamps have an exceptional energy efficiency rating meaning they last significantly longer than the fluorescent lamps they replace, helping you save money on energy and maintenance costs. They handle temperature changes far better than traditional fluorescents as well. Our selection of LED PL lamps are available in plug-and-play, direct wire, and hybrid options. Plug-and-play lamps operate only with a compatible ballast and are a quick and easy way to transition to more energy efficient lighting. Direct wire lamps operate by bypassing the ballast and running directly off line voltage. Keep in mind many of these lamps are internally driven, which means youll need to remove any ballasts currently connected to your plug-in CFLs. This eliminates any compatibility and maintenance issues associated with the ballast. Hybrid lamps are a good middle ground for those wanting to improve energy efficiency but arent ready to commit to bypassing the ballast. They can operate with a compatible ballast. Then, at the end of the ballasts life span, the ballast can be removed and they can run off line voltage.

PL Lamp Base Types

You can find LED retrofit lamps in multiple CFL plug-in base types:

Color Temperature Options for LED PL Lamps

Kelvin color temperature measures how warm or cool the light emitted from a bulb appears. A 2700 Kelvin lamp emits a warm white light that resembles the light of an incandescent. Bulbs with a color temperature in the 3000-3500 Kelvin range are similar in appearance to halogen lamps. 4000 Kelvin lamps produce a cool light resembling clear metal halide lamps, and 5000 Kelvin lamps are designed to resemble daylight. The lower the Kelvin rating of a bulb, the warmer and more yellow the light will appear. The higher the Kelvin, the cooler and more blue the light.
