Lightbulbs that really save money

With inflation and energy costs taking a bigger bite out of your spending plan, it's time to revisit the basics like replacing incandescent bulbs. Switching from incandescent to LED (light-emitting diode) bulbs could save around $225 in electricity cost per year. Also, LED bulbs last about 25 times longer than incandescents.  

Speaking of lighting... 

Kelvin is a unit to measure the color temperature of lighting, ranging from 2500K (extra warm white) to 6500K (daylight). 

Lumens is a measure of the maximum brightness of a bulb.

450 Lumens = 40 watts ranging to 1,600 Lumens equals 100 Watts. 

Info from the September 2022 Consumer Reports p. 12.
