The incandescent light bulb has been around for over a century and revolutionised our lives and the way we live! But now we believe that a SERIOUS contender to the 60W Incandescent bulb has arrived - Our New 5W LED Bulb. -- or our even newer 5W Rechargeable Bulb
The LED Bulb, contains no mercury so is safe, uses only 5 watts of power and will last well over 40,000 hours. LED bulbs have had major issues in the past but the technology has come a long way in 12 months.
We hope to put away all the concerns with this posting comparing the 5W LED Bulb to the energy sapping 60W Incandescent.
