By now, most homeowners know that LED lighting is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve your home's energy efficiency and reduce energy bills. The Energy Independence and Security Act, signed into law in 2007, was initially intended to legally phase out certain light bulbs such as incandescent and halogen bulbs by 2020. Though light bulb "bans" have not materialized due to opposition and other legal setbacks, LED lighting is still quickly becoming the norm for homeowners and businesses.

LED lights use at least 75 percent less energy and last 25 times longer than incandescent lighting. The transition to LEDs a no-brainer for many people. The US Department of Energy (DOE) believes that the "widespread use of LED lighting has the greatest potential impact on energy savings in the United States."
Even beyond the massive potential for energy savings and a payback period that we here at Rise estimate to be about five months, there is another reason why so many homeowners are eager to change to LEDs: unique and innovative lighting schemes. LEDs have " brightened up " our homes, from smart lighting setups to motion sensor exterior lighting and colored bulbs that you can control via a smart home speaker.
Today, the sheer amount of LED lighting products that homeowners can choose from risk making light bulb shopping a daunting task. When walking through the lighting aisle at your local hardware store, you might find yourself asking some of the following questions:
[ul]
[li]Are these LED bulbs compatible with the smart switches I recently bought?[/li]
[li]How many lumens are best for a LED bulb that I use on my bedside lamp?[/li]
[li]Will these LEDs work with my smart home hub?[/li]
[li]Do these smart LEDs work with Z-wave or Bluetooth connectivity?[/li]
[/ul]

Recent market estimates find that LED integrated lighting fixtures should outpace LED-ready types by 2022. In essence, manufacturers are increasingly opting for LED-integrated fixtures because they offer an "added-value" for the fixture, increase design opportunities, allow for better light optimization, and are potentially longer-lasting and nominally more energy efficient.

Integrated LED lighting fixtures are most likely set to become the industry standard shortly. Though they offer some advantages, they also tend to impose an expiration date on many lighting fixtures.
