<span class=bodytext1>Compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs) have become the
go-to choice for energy-efficient lighting, consuming 50 to 80 percent less
electricity than traditional incandescent bulbs. But an even more efficient
option is light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs, which use semiconductor
technology to convert electricity directly into visible light. </span></span><span

class=bodytext1><span style='font-size:8.5pt'>LEDs use a fraction of the
electricity required by other light sources: a six-watt LED generates more
light than an 11-watt CFL or 40-watt incandescent while using 45 percent
less electricity than the CFL and 85 percent less than the incandescent.
According to our research, if a million households each replaced one
40-watt incandescent bulb with a six-watt LED, and used it six hours per
day, more than 53,000 metric tons of heat-trapping carbon dioxide would be
kept out of the atmosphere per year.</span></span><span style='font-size:

would cost only $30 to operate over its 25-year lifetime compared with
$55 for the CFL (based on a national average electricity cost of 10
cents per kilowatt-hour), outfitting your entire house with LEDs could
be prohibitively expensive until costs come down. </span></span><span
