Table from FEIT Electric one of the top producers of light bulbs, you can see LED lights making an impact as the consume less power, put of little heat and last “forever” . The cost is still relatively high compared to incandescent and CFL lights, but it is dropping every 6 months or so, most light products are made in China.
I did pickup a little tip, Home Depot is selling a LED light that is around $10 and although it may not be as bright or the color may not be exactly the color you want it is pretty close and it is only getting better. I’ll post an update when I try it out.
The first annual Green City Fair was held yesterday and it was from all accounts a huge success. I even joined as a member of the TreePeople. The facilities are amazing with beautiful grounds which include trails, nursery, greenhouse, and many other features.
Thanks to all the volunteers from various organizations and sponsors for making this event a success.
