"That would normally be 60 watts if it's LED it's only six watts so the energy saving is huge and these light bulbs have a life, we say 25 years if it's used normally,IFC was placed on two-year probation in February following an incident led tube of hazing that occurred after an IFC ceremony in November.” said Bruce Okimoto of the Hawaii Home Expo.
Okimoto says the pricey bulbs also save money when compared to CFLs, which burn two and a half times the energy of LEDs. Plus the CFLs don't last nearly as long. Okimoto says certain brands like the Fawoo bulbs come with a reliable warranty, and for an even greener touch, are manufactured without the harmful chemicals.
"No lead,Starting in 2012, federal law says manufacturers can no longer sell the familiar, 100-watt incandescent bulbs people fluorescent lights have used for years to illuminate the front porch or garage. no mercury, so very friendly to the environment,” said Okimoto.

A family of three to four people would conserve nearly two thousand gallons of water a year compared to the current standard toilet of 1.6 gallons per flush. Of course, it also means spending considerably more for the energy efficient toilets. But Okimoto says more people are spending more, realizing that the extra cost will come back in the long run.
