Slash Lighting Costs 75%.
And stop replacing bulbs every 18 months.
Lighting is 5–10% of the average home energy bill, and incandescents are 90% heat. LEDs cut that by 75%, last 25,000 hours (about 17 years at 4 hours/day), and pay for themselves in 6–14 months. Add smart switches and you also eliminate phantom draws, automate schedules, and gain vacancy-off control.
What This Kit Does:
- Replaces every incandescent and CFL with a 60W-equivalent LED at 9W
- Cuts lighting energy use 75% per fixture — typically $180–$320/year per home
- Smart switches enable vacancy-off (lights go off automatically when nobody is in the room)
- Dimming without flicker at any level (look for the JA8 title-24 rating for the cleanest dimming)
- Covers color-temperature (2700K warm → 5000K daylight) for task vs ambient zones

How It Compares to Guessing
| Without Monitoring | With Monitoring |
|---|---|
| Replace a bulb every 18 months | 25,000-hour LEDs — typically 17 years |
| "The kids leave every light on" | Vacancy-off + scene-based schedules |
| 9W in, 90% as heat | 9W in, mostly light — 75% less energy |
| Hard to find the right color temperature | 2700K–5000K tunable per zone |
