The title of this article is Cree?s slogan for their newly released LED light bulbs. �These bulbs look like the normal incandescent bulbs we?re used to seeing, so your light fixtures will look like they have normal bulbs in them. �Cree says their ?innovative bulb is illuminated by Cree LED Filament Tower? Technology and provides a compact optically balanced light source within a real glass bulb to deliver consumers the warm light they love and want. Boasting a shape that looks like a traditional light bulb, Cree LED bulbs can be placed in most lighting fixtures in the home.? �Unlike traditional incandescents, the Cree bulbs produce the equivalent illumination produced by a traditional 60W bulb but use only 9.5W of power; a 6W Cree bulb that?s equivalent to a 40W traditional bulb is also available. �They are warrantied for 10 years and produce 25,000 hours of light ? compared to 1000 hours from a typical incandescent. �Unlike some CFLs, the Cree bulbs are instant-on.
The bulbs are available in a 60W-equivalent warm white (color temp 2700K), a 60W-equivalent daylight (color temp 5000K), and a 40W-equivalent warm white (color temp 2700K). �The 40W warm white bulb has a predicted energy cost of about $0.72 per year and has a lifetime savings of $94; the 60W warm white energy cost is $1.14 per year and saves $139 over it?s lifetime; and the 60W daylight bulb uses about $1.08 of energy per year with a lifetime savings of $140.
The bulbs are mercury-free, dimmable, and made of safety glass. �Cree bulbs are available exclusively at Home Depot and cost�$9.97 for the warm white 40-watt replacement, $12.97 for the 60-watt warm white replacement, and $13.97 for the 60-watt day light.
