    • LED = $7.23
  • Bulb Replacement
    • 75w = $140.00
    • LED = $0 (100,000 hour life expectancy)
  • Total Annual Operating Cost
    • 75w = 501.35
    • LED = $7.23
  • After 100,000 hours of use (Roughly 27.5 years)
    • 75w = $13,787.13
    • LED = $198.83
  • INITIAL COST

    The proper files were still web web. I thought it was strange, and even after changing the group as your instructions said, there was no change in how this displayed in both putty and filezilla. However, I tested uploading to my blog and it worked like a charm! I am not sure what is going on with the group thing, but somehow it must have worked. I’m curious as to what the deal is with that. In any case, Thank you so much!

    Your article on LED lighting is spot on, however you failed to mention which LED system you recommend.I’m currently seaching the web for an LED system to install at several of my customers homes. however I can’t seem to find a product the will meet their needs. If you have any suggestions it would be welcomed.
