I've been so impressed with LED lights lately that I bought my first LED light bulb for the house. I have a a 60 watt incandescent bulb in my den which stays on for most of the day...next to the computer. The incandescent just popped.. AGAIN today...They are made in China (GE) and they don't seem to last.

The NEW LED bulb is a 60 watt bulb that looks like ...same size and shape as the old bulb. It's heavier (weightwise) than the old bulb. The card says it uses 11 watts to make the light that the old 60 watt bulb did. ....The light "color" is the same....

The cost at WallyMart was $10.95. I'm going to get another one for the living room. I'm going to replace the bulbs that spend the most time ON..

NB

PS: I have a 60 watt "Compact Fluorescent" bulb over the kitchen stove. Not impressed. Once it comes up to full light it's fine..BUT It takes forever to come up to full light. The LED is Instant.
