LEDs Rise as Biofuels Sink (Week Ending 9/19)

This may depend on the consumer. Whether they live in a house they own and their income level, but I would argue that LEDs offer advantages over CFLs. LED lights have lenses that can control the light. This leads to better lighting. LEDs do not contain mercury. The Lumens is now up to 90 LM / Watt for the CREE Q2. I think that beats the cfls. (Often 3 Watt LEDs are used, for more power, and they are not quite as efficient more like 50 LM / Watt.) When you include some of these advantages along with savings and maintenance. I think LEDs are already a winner. A very nice recessed ceiling 9 Watt light with Lenses and adjustable head can be as low as 65. It beats a cfl with mercury that flickers.
