Switching to LEDs leaves a great deal of green in your pocket. Lighting accounts for up to 15 percent of the electric bill in residences.

People are now realizing that reducing their electric usage from a 30 watt halogen light to a 3 watt LED means huge cash savings which is essential in today's challenging economic environment."
