EcoGeekLiving is an online retailer of earth-friendly products. One of the products that I like most is the LED Light Bulbs. This is an energy efficient light bulb that will last 10 times compare to fluorescents. I will surely buy this light bulb in my kitchen and for my daughter’s study table. I just found out that LED Light Bulbs can hold up stonger. This is really perfect for daughter’s table because she can’t hold still. For those of you who toddlers, this is really a good idea for them. I like the color-changing light bulb too. Yay, I can’t wait, I will tell hubby to buy this bulb.

As someone who sells light bulbs for a living, I am really excited about LEDs because of my concerns about the mercury content in compact fluorescent lightbulbs. The development of LED technology presents a viable alternative to compact fluorescents: longer-lasting lightbulbs without dangerous chemical content.
Most CFLs today on the market contain less than 5mgs of mercury and there are CFL options out there that contain as little as 1.5mgs of mercury- which can hardly be called a “significant amounts of mercury” considering that many item in your home contain 100s of times more of mercury including your computer. Mercury levels in CFLs can never be “nonexistent” since mercury is a necessary component of a CFL and there is no other known element that is capable of replacing it. But CFLs actually prevent more mercury from entering the environment. According to the Union of Concerned Scientist, “a coal-fired power plant will emit about four times more mercury to keep an incandescent bulb glowing, compared with a CFL of the same light output”.
