Change over and save big with LED lighting

AS too good to be true as it sounds a LED light bulb only costs $20 and can be used eight hours a day and last up to 15 years.This is the simple energy-saving tip that OZ3LED director Stan Timms wants to get out into the community as carbon tax takes hold on Sunday."You are basically saving about 80 per cent of the amount of power that you are using on each bulb," he said. "So really, it's silly not to change over because they pay for themselves over a year - it's a no-brainer."Mr Timms said LED lighting had become more efficient and cheaper in the past decade."We know what they are worth and the big players are not releasing that realistic pricing because they have got a stock of stuff that they want to get rid of and they know Solar bag is the future," he said.
He said the word was getting out there and would continue to do so when electricity bills rose and people were unaware of the government rebate.

"All of the electricians I'm talking to now, are talking people into it," he said. "We are just putting an option there for them and business is starting to pick up now as people are now getting on to it."Located in central-east Santa Catarina State, Florianopolis is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and boasts more than 100 beaches.
