After designing their new QRLEDs, the team tested their performance and efficiency. According to their study, the new designs turned electricity into light with 24% external quantum efficiency compared to 22% for older models.

LED bulbs are the best light bulbs for your home. Generally, LED bulbs are 90% efficient, CFL bulbs are 85% efficient, and incandescent bulbs are only 10% efficient. So, if your home is packed with incandescent bulbs – then you’re going to have higher electric bills.

Now I am little confused here, we are told leds are 90% efficient.

Since I only have a couple of lamps with incandescent bulbs, and they are only on for a few hours in the evening, how much of a monthly or annual cost savings is there?

No thanks, let me have a citizens choice of incandescent bulbs, not a govt. mandated LED.

And while we're at it, give me back my high volume flush toilet. The govt. mandated toilets aren't worth shit.....(no pun intended)
