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.
