Budget LEDs debut on Amazon
Lighting manufacturer Lighting Science Group announced yesterday it will begin selling low-cost LED lightbulbs on Amazon.com beginning today.
The company’s A19 omnidirectional 8.5-watt bulb (40-watt equivalent) will sell for $21.98, and is only the first in a line of low-budget LED bulbs planned for sale at the online superstore, according to Lighting Science Group.
The company says its bulbs will last up to 23 years, and are 76 percent more efficient than a standard incandescent bulb.
“Lighting accounts for more than 18 percent of the average U.S. household’s energy bill—that’s because incandescent bulbs are essentially space heaters that give off a little bit of light,” Lighting Science Group CEO Rich Weinberg said in a statement.
