It seems like LED lights are quickly taking over the lighting market these days. You see them in now in everything from flashlights to holiday bulbs. They can use as little as 15% as much energy as a standard incandescent bulb, so about 6 eco-friendly LED bulbs still use less energy than your standard bulb. They contain no mercury, no lead, and are run very cool.
Marktech LED Lighting Products has added the EnergyLED E26 LED light bulb to their line of LED lighting products. This energy efficient bulb uses just 4.6 watts to generate 160 lumens of light, a stark comparison to standard light bulbs. On average, LED light bulbs use up to 85% less electricity and last up to 50 times longer than current incandescent lamp offerings. This E26 based, UL approved family of LED light bulbs are currently available in three white color temperatures, 2800k warm white, 5200k full spectrum white, and 6000k cool white. Colored bulbs include red, green, blue and yellow.
