Changing to LEDs
Have you heard the news about fluorescent lights? Japan is going to stop making and importing them by next year. If you have fluorescent lights in your house, you will have to change to LED tubes. LEDs are more expensive than fluorescent lights, but they are better in many ways. They use less energy, so your electricity bill will be lower. They also last about 10 times longer, so you don’t have to buy new lights so often. LED tubes are also better for the environment because they don’t use mercury like fluorescent lights. Be careful when you change them, however. Make sure that you buy the right kind of LED tube. If you make a mistake, the LED can catch fire.
