Budget LEDs debut on Amazon
Lighting manufacturer Lighting Science Group announced yesterday it  will begin selling low-cost LED lightbulbs on Amazon.com beginning  today.
The company’s A19 omnidirectional 8.5-watt bulb (40-watt  equivalent) will sell for $21.98, and is only the first in a line of  low-budget LED bulbs planned for sale at the online superstore,  according to Lighting Science Group.
The company says its bulbs will last up to 23 years, and are 76 percent more efficient than a standard incandescent bulb.
“Lighting  accounts for more than 18 percent of the average U.S. household’s  energy bill—that’s because incandescent bulbs are essentially space  heaters that give off a little bit of light,” Lighting Science Group CEO  Rich Weinberg said in a statement.
