LED lightbulbs


blue spruce
We have a lot of these blue spruce trees in the area. They grow 30 to 60 feet high and live for 200 years on average.  They also make perfect Christmas trees. They are deer resistant in the forests. Native Americans used them as medicinal plants and the twigs were given as symbols of good fortune.

They are having instant rebates on LED lightbulbs in our area in an effort to promote energy conservation.  So many of the supermarkets and hardware stores are offering LED bulbs for about 50c after an instant rebate.  The bulbs normally cost at least $3 each.  We took advantage of this to purchase a lot of LED (60w equivalent or 800 lumens) soft white bulbs and husband M spent some time yesterday replacing most of our incandescent bulbs with these new ones.  We are looking forward to the power savings over time.

    I like the blue spruce, there are a lot of them growing here, too, and a lot of people buy them as Christmas trees as they don't lose their needles all over the carpets! Good idea with the energy saving bulbs, you got them for a great price. Hugs, Valerie

    these are beautiful Christmas trees, also in Germany they are popular because of the not needles and with the Sparlampen I find good!

    I have all LED in my house. Our power company tells us how much we use for lightning, it aint much. You have 4-9ws of power per bulb vs 40-60ws. It's a huge saving in power

    That is wonderful about the LED bulbs. We only have LED in our home and it's great. It makes a big difference.

    We did the same with our light bulbs. It must be nice to see those pine trees in your area.

    Blue spruce have ALWAYS been my favorite tree. I hope you show more of them from your area and especially when the lights are on them. Love the photo!

    In the mountains here we have so many different pines, cedars, evergreen trees, and when I spot a blue spruce I swear my heart skips a beat, lol

    We've switched over from florescent bulbs to LED too. They sometimes don't last as long as they're supposed to though.
