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 100W Incandescent bulb has arrived - Our New 10W LED Bulb with Samsung LED Chip.

The LED Bulb, contains no mercury so is safe, uses only 10 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 10W LED Bulb to the 100W Incandescent.
