Especially during the summer, Arizona air conditioners are on overdrive. If you have incandescent bulbs or CFLs in your home, your lighting is making your AC work even harder. LEDs, on the other hand, use 95% of their energy as light as opposed to heat. That\u2019s the same reason why you can easily touch an LED without burning yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re outside enjoying the beautiful Arizona evening weather, bugs can really ruin your night. Incandescent bulbs and CFLs invite bugs by emitting ultraviolet (UV) light or infrared radiation. Luckily, LEDs emit very little UV light or infrared radiation, which makes them nearly invisible to many of the common pests that will ruin your outdoor dinner.2<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n
