NextEnergy BlogChange is brewing in the lighting industry
The upcoming Michigan Advanced Lighting Conference that will take place in Lansing, MIon October 29th will highlight some of the very exciting and monumental shifts that aretaking place in the lighting industry right now. Whether you use lights to highlight retailproducts on your shelf of you're a contractor that installs lighting, here are some changesto look for in the near future.
Monumental Pricing Drops for LEDsIf you've walked the lighting isle at Home Depot or Lowe's recently, you may havenoticed that pricing for standard 40 or 60 watt equivalent bulbs are down significantly. Infact, this past week I saw a two‐pack for $5. Yep, just $2.50 a bulb. Last year, LED bulbswere in the $6‐$8 range and definitely in the $9‐$10 range two years ago. So what doesthis mean? Read more.
NextEnergy continues to provide uswith great advice and networking opportunities.
