LED Lighting in Jacksonville
At Johnson Electric of Jacksonville, we are happy to educate our customers as much as possible about electricity and all of the things it entails. It is, after all, a HUGE part of our lives. We simply wouldn’t be able to do 95 percent of the things we do on a daily basis without it. However, when it comes to LED Lighting in Jacksonville, Johnson Electric of Jacksonville has you covered!
So, let’s talk about something we all do all of the time…especially if you’re a homeowner. This more than likely an extremely rhetorical question, but have you ever purchased a light bulb? Yes, we know the answer is – of course!
You’d think something as simple as buying a light bulb wouldn’t come with any decision making. You could just simply purchase the cheapest bulb(s) and be on your way to replacing your old bulbs with the new ones and your done, right? Did you know you will be right back at the appliance store to replace those bulbs much sooner than if you switched to an LED bulb?
And did you know that cheap bulb is costing you more money in the long run?
LED Lighting Equals Savings
According to thesimpledollar.com, you can save an average of $50 per year on your electric bill by switching to LED lighting. It may cost slightly more upfront to replace your conventional bulbs, but you’ll purchase LED’s much less often. The average standard light bulb has a lifespan of just 1200 hours. Compare this to the LED bulb’s 25,000 hour lifespan! Yes, you read that correctly. That comes out to approximately 21 purchases of a standard bulb to replace one light versus buying ONE LED bulb!

You can now find LED bulbs for around $8 and IKEA even sells their own LED version for $5!
