LED bulbs are more efficient than the CFL’s.
Go ahead and unscrew a CFL when it’s on. It’ll be hot, and you probably won’t do that again.
LED’s are only slightly warm enough to even notice.
Not trying to be an apologist for the leftist nitwits. But the LED’s will make incandescent and CFL both obsolete.
Not ready for prime time yet, but they will. What’s ironic is, once people start really switching over, people will start using their heaters more, because of that.
A bright side though, in places like Texas, in summer.
The lack of heat is a double edged sword.
When commercial bldgs. are designed and heat load calculations are made, one of the items in the numbers is lighting.
Most office bldgs. have no interior/core heat source other than internal heat from lighting, electronics, etc.
While new structures could take lack of heat derived from lighting into consideration, conversion of older bldgs. could produce problems.
Plus, the heat will have to come from somewhere.
Heat strips are the usual method, used around the exterior zones.
Add them to the interior and nothing is gained in energy savings.
Just something to think about.
Then again, there would be a savings in the summer so it may wash.
