The cost of using incandescent bulbs, even energy star approved, is too high. LED bulbs, with longer lifespans, less energy consumption, and recyclable materials, are far more energy efficient and environmentally friendly. The transition can be achieved smoothly by replacing each incandescent bulb with an LED as each incandescent bulb dies. The longer lifespan and less energy use will ensure that the tax budget of each city is spent more effectively.
