The most powerful light lord that once hovered above us, that made us see what others could not, and created time for us after the sun disappeared each day, now lay motionless before us. His brilliance that was once blinding, that demanded we never look directly at him, is now dim and powerless before us. This light lord, the once omnipotent, omnipresent lord of the night has faltered for the last time, his filament no longer intact. Now he has been carried into our sight from behind the shield that once separated him from us. We can look directly at him and see his strange face. It is the head of a monster of old, an alien from another dimension. It has a bulbous, bulging forehead, not evolved for this time and place. Without power, without light now, it is an ugly thing, a thing of pity. Although it performs no movement, the bulbous-headed creature seems to speak. It seems to realize that its time is up, that a new power will take over. We had heard of a new king of the night, a king who may reign forever, a king who will be gentle to our eyes, a king who will demand little of us and who will live as a friend among us. We are glad for a new king, a creature of balance and harmony who will replace our old master of dominance and power. We welcome the new king of the night although his ways are new and different to our own traditions. This new lord is a light lord for the people, of the world, of the universe, a lord who unites all elements of the world through light and reason. We cry his name out loud, "LED!".
As if the tired, bulbous-headed relic now laid before us can read our minds, he relinquishes his hold on the world. He gives in to the advancing presence of glowing wonder and awe, and with a final fizz of energy he agrees to join atoms with the new world order. He agrees to be touched by the gentle green hands of our new giver of light. The last request of the old seems to say, "Do not blame me, do not waste me. I did what I thought was best, but now it is time to give my old atoms to something new and worthy."
Rejoice in the new. the gentle, lasting light. Pick your bulbs wisely so that they will benefit all who bare witness to their rays.

Why Choose LED?
Energy Efficient − LED Lamps use 1/3rd to 1/30th of the energy an incandescent or CFL uses.
Economical − Although LED Lamps are initially more expensive, the cost is recouped over time in energy and replacement savings.
Longer Life − LED Lamps last up to 10 times as long as compact fluorescents, and far longer than typical incandescents.
Cool − LED Lamps cause less heat to build-up and linger within a room then incandescent lamps. By preventing heat build ups, LEDs help reduce Building cooling costs.
Durability − LED Lamps are solid and do not have a filament so they hold up well to jarring and bumping, or circumstances that would normally cause other bulbs to break.
Environmentally Friendly and RoHS Compliant − No toxins, such as lead or mercury, are used in the manufacturing of LED Lamps, aiding in bulb disposal costs.
