How do energy-efficient lights compare in cost to traditional bulbs?

Energy-efficient lights, like LEDs, typically have a higher upfront cost but save money in the long run due to lower energy consumption.

Can you give me an example of the cost difference over time?

Sure! For instance, a traditional incandescent bulb might cost $1 and use about $7 in electricity over its lifetime, while an LED bulb might cost $10 but only use $2 in electricity.

So, in total, the LED would save me money?

Yes, over the lifespan of the bulbs, the LED would save you about $4 compared to the incandescent bulb.

Are there any other benefits to using energy-efficient lights?

Absolutely! They last longer, reduce your carbon footprint, and can improve the quality of light in your home.
