New, Green Light Movement

Semillas de Amor is looking for your help to become more environmentally friendly and to reduce our monthly electric bill.  After in depth research, we’ve decided to use LED bulbs because the more efficient and green than both CFL (Compact Fluorescents) and Incandescent bulbs.

  • LED bulbs use about 1/3 of the power of CFLs; 1/30th of the power of incandescents
  • LED bulbs do not contain any hazardous substances such as mercury.  CFLs do!
  • LED bulbs have a lifespan greater than 50,000 hours – more than 17 years if you use them 8 hours/day!

Yes, LED bulbs are more expensive than the rest but the prices have come down significantly and it will cost only $4000 to light our whole project with LEDs.  Once we are fully LED lit, we’ll save more than $150 per month on our electricity bill.
