In Reply to: LJD or anyone using solar (or just low energy lighting)??? posted by dave2 on May 02, 2012 at 04:30:01:

I have changed every light in the house to LED.
Started 3 years ago and finishing up last week.
The brand I use has some lights that will run on
12 vdc/ac all the way up to 208 and can't remember
but may be to 277. I have 2 and 4 ft. fluorescent
led replacements also. They are expensive but I
sure like the quality of light from them. The
tubes,are shatter proof, don't need a ballast and
I just remove them and trash them. Just get
voltage to one end and N to the other on just one
pin or all. Very simple. They use 17 watts as to
34 watts on the old style.

I buy from Earth Led and they have a chart with
standard lamp wattage and can click on that and
see the LED replacements for that wattage lamp.

I had one lamp to stop working and had no problem
getting it replaced. The folks there have been
very helpful and able to answer all my questions.

I have several lights that use 4 bulbs of regular
40 watt. I replaced them with 8 watt LED's and
have better quality light. And last the power bill
went down. Most of the Led's have a 3 year to pay
back. They are almost all rated 50,000 hr. of this
brand. 3 year replacement if one stops working.

We all know power rates will climb. I've been
working on this for several years now and not just
lights. What I've changed has brought my average
monthly power bill from $178 per month down to
$123 per month and have had 2 rate increases and
fuel charge added that time frame. Prices of Leds
are down now from when I started. I think they are
the best bang for the buck for lighting going
today.
