LED bulbs consume possibly one fifth of the power for nearly the same amount of light that they produce. So in other words, LED bulbs offer some good monthly power bill savings.
LED bulbs have nearly 20 times more life hours than the regular incandescent bulbs. Again, that means savings in long run over re-buying cost.
Now a days LED bulbs are not as costly as they used to be in 2010. The price is really comparative to the traditional light bulbs. Sometimes large stores such as Walmart or Home Depot, put the regular size LED bulbs for sale in just 0.99 cents.
As a simple rule of thumb, incandescent lamps produce 15 lumens/watt and LED lamps produce nearly 70 lumens/watt. It is almost 5 times light output and 5 times energy saving.
