L.E.D. Lights, 1.5 Watts - 50 lumens.

[hmman]

fyi...not intended for growing.

i'm thinking of buying a few of these to save electricity around the house. anybody using them? how do they look?

if on 8 hours a day x 1.5=12 watts a day.

83 days = 1kilowatt = 10 cents every 3 months of use? 40 cents a year?! is that correct? wow!

i would say it is, those are going to replace cfl's around the house pretty quick

you could pay for the power for 50 years for the price difference between those and 13 watt cfls. 50 lumens is barely enough to read with. But in a year ask the same question. 13 watt cfl is 720 lumens i think. Actually the fixture your looking at is very ineffiecient. 30 lumens watt?

I agree, very inefficient with this fixture.

You need to find ones that use 1w LED or higher watts per LED than 1w, nothing less.

They are mostly useful for areas where you need very little lighting. I put 2 lights with 3 1w LED's above our stove. CFL's would have been too big to mount there. So the options were 2 30w incandescent bulbs or 2 3w LED bulbs. When florescent lights are an option they are better than LED.
