CD-R King has been known for selling cheaper computer peripherals and other electronic devices to Filipinos for years and thankfully, they now sell cheaper LED bulbs to the masses! Yey! But first, let us discuss the difference between the standard light bulb that we're accustomed to use and the LED bulb so you'd understand more about the benefits of using LED.
CFL or LED? Which is the Better Light For You
With lots of attributes to consider, which is really better for you? Let’s scale it down.
CFL
CFL also known as compact fluorescent is
your mini version of a standard fluorescent light bulb.
CFL gives lighting efficiency and has been
used for decades now and it has graced our homes as it fits perfectly in an
ordinary socket without using an adaptor.
CFLs normally takes a few moments to warm up
and reach its full brightness.
However, CFLs contain a small amount of
mercury which normally does not cause any hazard but if the bulb breaks
accidentally, that’s where the problem comes in. Mercury has been banned in the
medical field due to its harmful effect on human health.
Regular CFL bulbs lasts up to 6000 hours
Average energy use per year: 767 KWh/yr
Average cost in the Philippines: Php 125 to
300
LED
LED or Light Emitting Diodes was introduce
several years back with the promise of lowering your electric bill.
According to the study made by Lighting
Research Center, LED light bulbs work by bringing together currents with a
positive and negative charge to create energy released in the form of light.
The result of this is a fast source of light that is reliable and instantaneous.
LED bulbs also fits an ordinary socket without
the need of an adaptor and it bright up as soon as you switch it on.
LED bulbs is considered good for the
environment and are endorsed by green movements.
LED bulbs generally cost more to buy although
manufacturing technologies are lowering these prices as we move along.
Regular LED lasts anywhere from 20,000 to
50,000 hours.
Average energy use per year: 329 KWh/yr
Average cost in the Philippines: Php300 to 800
Equal Factor
Both serves your lighting needs efficiently.
Both fits in sockets of your lamps and fixtures. Meaning, if you don’t consider
the chances of your bulb breaking then you would likely choose CFL over LED
because of the price difference.
Points to Ponder:
CFL
might cost less but it requires you to buy more bulbs over time whereas LED lights last longer, so even though
you’re paying more at purchase, you buy fewer bulbs in the long run.
Considering the
humid weather in the Philippines, we should also consider that CFL bulb emits more heat than LED bulb, thus, by choosing wisely, you
can reduce the heat index in your home.
Moreover, if you
care for the environment, Lower energy consumption decreases carbon dioxide emissions,
sulfur oxide, and high-level nuclear waste.
CD-R Kings makes it easier for you to decide
CD-R
King, your one-stop media provider gives you the
ease of choosing by taking away the drawback of price difference by making LED

This effort compliments their advocacy in
encouraging people to care for the environment during their California e-bike
campaign early this year.
It is also noted that CD-R King offers
several choices of LED bulbs with different price range both for personal and
industrial use.

I am actually one of those people who often go to CD-R King to purchase a mouse, a keyboard, or just for the fun for it to see what's new. I was really amazed that they started selling e-bikes before and now, I'm even more stunned and quite astounded to learn that they now offer affordable LED light bulbs because these bulbs really does cost a fortune. So let's all rejoice that CD-R King has lighten up our lives by having affordable LED bulbs for our households! I'll definitely buy some LED bulbs in CDR-King when I'm free.
