LED light bulbs give off directional light, so the light goes where you aim it. LED bulbs are closer to the colour of daylight — which new studies suggest is good for staying alert. LED light bulbs can replace standard fluorescent or halogen light bulbs (led lights).

This routine maintenance led to an annual cost of tens of thousands dollars plus the need for a heavy lifter equipment. Read the full story
