Welcome
Welcome to my blog. I will be researching the main differences between LED, incandescent, and compact fluorescent lighting techniques.

Hey Mike. I checked out the link you had about the Loin's Gate Bridge switching to LED light and saving tons of money. I was just curious to your thoughts about why more companies and cities are switching ALL their lights to LED if it such a money saver. Why wait longer and spend more money with the exisiting lights rather than switching all city lights now!
I believe the cost to do that is too much for a city to approve even though it could be a big money saver.
