Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, children of all ages, prepare yourselves for Metro Lighting's... "Evaluator"

This online tool will help show you the potential savings if you were to change your inefficient incandescent light bulbs to energy efficient LED light bulbs.

Energy Efficient LED Light Bulbs can reduce your lighting energy consumption by more than 75%.  Did you know by replacing your home’s five most frequently used light fixtures or the bulbs in them with ENERGY STAR certified models, you can save more than $70 each year?

ENERGY STAR qualified LED bulbs produce about 80% less heat, so they are safer to operate and can cut energy costs associated with home cooling.  LED bulbs also last more than 25 times longer than a standard incandescent bulb reducing the need for homeowners to drag out a ladder and reducing a business’ maintenance cost!

Please let me know what you think!
