LED Light Bulbs Offers Equal Light Intensity as a 100W Incandescent Bulb at a Fraction of the Price
Take advantage of LED technology and save money on your electric bill by using an energy efficient, environmentally friendly light bulb!
Unlike incandescent bulbs, LED bulbs are more directional and concentrated which gives them a much greater advantage when installed in directional lamps or can lights. Because of the directional nature of LED bulbs, the “down light” you’ll get when installed in a traditional desk lamp will typically be less bright than that of an incandescent bulb, while the “up light” will be two to three times brighter than the incandescent.
When selecting a color (cool or warm), keep in mind that a “warm” temperature LED bulb will more closely resemble the color of traditional incandescent bulbs and a “cool” temperature LED will more closely resemble the color of daylight.
Temperature Comparison
- 100 Watt incandescent bulb after 2 minutes of use, 335° F
- 13 Watt CFL bulb after 2 minutes of use, 179° F
- 13 Watt EVOLUX LED bulb after 2 minutes of use, 87° FIn order to create an LED light bulb that can compete head to head with both CFL and high wattage incandescent bulbs, a revolutionary active cooling system has been built-in that employs a nearly silent internal fan to cool the heatsink. Additionally, the entire housing is encased in ABS plastic to always ensure that the body of the EvoLux is cool to the touch.
Lifespan Comparison
- 100 Watt incandescent bulb will last approximately 1000 hours; at 12 hours per day, the estimated lifespan is 83 days.
- 13 Watt CFL bulb will last approximately 10,000 hours; at 12 hours per day, the estimated lifespan is 833 days or 2.2 years
- 100 Watt EVOLUX LED bulb will last approximately 50,000 hours; at 12 hours per day, the estimated lifespan is 4166 days or 11.4 years.
Save Money on Electricity
The approximate cost to run the EvoLux S 13 Watt LED Bulb, Long, Warm White bulb for one year is only $3.80. This is based on calculations assuming 8 hours per day operation, 365 days per year with $.10 KWh electricity cost. The same use from a standard 100 Watt incandescent bulb will run approximately $29.20 per year. |
