I completely believe the fact that LED is best choice available that you can buy.When big enterprise stimulates CFLs as better than incadescent is generally a marketing trick.They did not display that esp that CFLs contain mercury fumes and also can in a roundabout way promote headaches due to visibility.
Currently there are serious goes in EU contries to ban incadescent and most likely Aust and NZ will adhere to.

CFL’s are great way to save our energy bills.They do cost a bit more but the return they give us by saving is just phenominal….I have been using havells fluorescent lamps from quite a long time and they had really made me save a good amount on my electricity bills.

every electronic product has some pros and cons.fluorescent lamps are said to have some drawbacks but we can’t deny the fact that they also help us save a lot of electricity.I am using Havells CFLs which makes me save a lot of electricity and the lighting of this lamp is also just amazing.

CFLs are said to have some drawbacks when it comes to something related to nature but we need to see the other side of the coin also..It makes us save a lot of energy and also provide a good look also to our homes.I am using Havells CFLs which are said to save 80% energy when compared to other brands and have a longer life.

Earlier I was also not knowing that CFLs have so many drawbacks but after going through some of the articles on internet,I came to know a lot of fact about CFLs.I decided to change my CFLs and start looking for a good brand and after doing a bit of research I found that Havells lighting products are well known and they do have good quality.I changed my CFLs with havells LEDs and now I am a fully relieved man.

Well…Cfls would be having some problem but we cant deny the fact that they do also make us save a lot of energy.We can also choose Some good incandescent bulbs like havells have a long range of good looking Incandescent bulbs.We can have a look at that also.

i would say to try LED lights. LED lamps typically include heat management elements such as heat sinks and cooling fins. LED lamps offer long service life and high energy efficiency, but initial costs are higher than those of fluorescent and incandescent lamps. that initial cost hardly matters if you are expecting a lot more benefits out of it. ultimately it willl save ur pocket in terms of electricity bill, u wont get harmed so no doctor charges, and u’ll also contribute somthing towards ur environment.

There are many valid and good comments here. CFL’s in Asia, there is no disposal for it and most ending up in local landfills. And CFL’s and tubes are widely spread here. Said to see. And i researched on mercury, amazing how many people in China died because of poor manufactoring process and handling.

LED’s have done a tremendous progress in the last two years. A CFL and tube has about 50-60 lumen/Watt. LED in these days already at around 100 lumen/Watt. LED’s from my manufactorer come with 2 years warranty (you wont have any warranty on Halogen, CFL or incandescent). They save about 40-90% on electricity and about 6 times replacement (lights plus labour) compared to CFL and tubes. And yes, they are more expensive, but putting in above benefits into dollars, the LED will usually have a return of investment within 1-2 years. For Halgen and incandescent its usually below 1 year. I havent found any stock how gives this return !!! Surely they will get cheaper over time, but how long do we want to wait ? I could have still waited on my to computer to get cheaper, I would be sitting and waiting for the last 20 years. Everytime is the right time. So we should make a start now.
