Hey folks,
Been trying to cut back on electric use and have done real good by switching out normal bulbs/fixtures with either CF bulbs or 3ft single tube florescent fixtures. Now looking to go a step or two further and swap some to LED.
Can anyone using LED compare in (idiot terms) an LED floodlight, bulb, etc to a normal bulb, CF, or light tube as far as light output? Also looking at a couple solar LED floodlights from HF and NT but don#t know how much they put out in comparison....
Only thing I know is, in two rooms (10'x10'), I replaced bulbs in a 4x50 watt halogen fixture with 4x 3 watt LED bulbs nand the light is just as bright and not so hard on the eyes ..... And went from 200 watts to 12 watts in the process.....
Just not sure what I need to light up an outside ares/yard.....
