The first product in the line, the 9-watt EcoSmart A19, will retail for $19.97.<\/p>\n<p>The A19 uses approximately 80 percent less energy than a standard 40-watt incandescent bulb and is expected to last more than 22 years. Plus, it\u2019s dimmable, which means it can cut energy costs even more.<\/p>\n<p>The dimming feature also makes the EcoSmart bulb ideal for use with a lighting control system. Per commands from the system, the light output of the LED bulb can be altered to set the mood for any number of activities: watching TV, entertaining guests, relaxing and meditating, for example.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some facts about LED \u2026 if the $20 price tag isn\u2019t enough to persuade you:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>LED lights contain no mercury<br \/>\nThe bulbs don\u2019t get hot<br \/>\nThey can last a long time \u2013 10 years or more when running 8 hours a day<br \/>\nThey require no warm up time to reach full intensity<br \/>\nThey come in colors, making them a decorative option<\/p>\n<p>by Lisa Montgomery<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.electronichouse.com\/article\/ecosmart_bulbs_make_led_lighting_afforable\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.electronichouse.com\/article\/ecosmart_bulbs_make_led_lighting_afforable\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cis-nc.com\/\">Custom Installation Services, LLC <\/a>&#8211;\u00a0Charlotte and\u00a0Boone NC\u2019s Source For\u00a0Lutron RadioRa2 Sales, Support &amp; Design!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home Depot offers exclusive line of $20 energy-efficient lighting.
