Upgrading to LED

Five years ago when my new bride and I came home to begin our new life together, one of the first things that I started doing as a simple upgrade was changing out any old incandescent bulbs to the well known compact fluorescent (twisty bulb) lamps. We had different colour temperatures and wattages all over the house, but we were being energy efficient. Not only were we making the greener choice we were going to save money in the long run because they lasted longer and were cheaper to run. We even bought a big box of CF lamps from Costco to replace them as they died.

Philips HF3520 Wake-Up Light Coloured Sunrise Simulation

It has been about two weeks since Sunny – our new alarm clock – was delivered to our house. I learned about the wake-up light about a year and a half ago at a Philips lighting seminar in Toronto. The idea captivated me then, the videos and reviews of how it worked enthralled me while researching it further, and so far for me, it has lived up to my expectations.
