Why LED is the right choice:

Long Lifespan: LED bulbs can last for up to 5 times longer than compact fluorescents and over 40 times longer than incandescent.
Durable: LED bulbs are solid allowing them to withstand jarring and bumping much better than incandescent bulbs.
Running Temperature: LEDs produce 3.4 btu (British Thermal Unit) per hour, compared to 85 btu per hour for incandescent bulbs which means that LED lights produce 25 times less heat.
Mercury-Free: LEDs do not use Mercury.
More Efficient: LED light bulbs use only 2-17 watts of electricity (1/3rd to 1/30th of Incandescent or CFL bulbs). Additionally, small LED flashlight bulbs will extend battery life 10 to 15 times longer than with incandescent bulbs.
Cost-Effective: Although LEDs are initially expensive, the cost is recouped over time and in battery savings. The LED bulb use was first adopted commercially, where maintenance and replacement costs are expensive. Today, there are many new LED light bulbs for use in the home, and the cost is becoming less of an issue.
Lower Power Requirement: Because of the low power requirement for LEDs, using solar panels becomes more practical and less expensive than running an electric line or using a generator for lighting in remote or off-grid areas. LED light bulbs are also ideal for use with small portable generators which homeowners use for backup power in emergencies.

Difference between Warm and Cool Lamps:

Warm: Has a color temperature of around 3500K and would closely match the light color of an incandescent light bulb. Typically, this lighting is preferred at home to create a more comfortable environment.
Cool: Has a color temperature of around 4500K and would closely match the light color of fluorescent light. Typically, this lighting is preferred in an office tor create an environment to keep people alert.

SensorPlug Motion Activated Electrical Outlet

SensorPlug Motion Activated Electrical Outlet from Earthtech Products, List price $25.99 ; Sale price $19.89
SensorPlug is like having an extra pair of hands when you need them! The SensorPlug Motion-Sensing Outlet is a passive infrared motion sensor that’s triggered when you walk past, instantly turning on a light or even an appliance, such as a fan or a radio. Since the SensorPlug inserts right into a wall outlet, you don’t need to wire it in! The PIR activates the SensorPlug’s outlet when motion is detected and keeps devices on for a user-selected amount of time after the unit stops detecting motion, thus allowing you to keep an electrical device on as long as the room is occupied and motion is detected. The SensorPlug Motion-Sensing Outlet has two working options. If the device plugged into it is a lamp, it can trigger the lamp to light up whenever you pass by if the ambient light level is low, thus saving both energy and bulb life during the daylight hours. But if a fan is attached, you can set the SensorPlug to turn it on when motion is detected regardless of the ambient light level.
