CFL bulbs will last for several years, and halogen bulbs typically need to be replaced once every year or two. LED bulbs typically offer a lifespan between 10 and 20 years and are the longest-lasting bulb. What to Look for in a Light Bulb Lifespanĭealing with burnt-out bulbs is becoming less of a routine event and more of an occasional annoyance, thanks to the long lifespans offered by the latest in bulb technology. The energy-efficient bulbs are estimated to cost only a dollar a year to run. If budget is a concern, the Philips 60W Equivalent 2700K 2-Pack A19 LED Light Bulb ( view on Home Depot) is a great choice. Our top pick for LEDs goes to the Philips 10W Frosted LED Light Bulb ( view on Amazon) which is available in two colors and is said to have a lifespan of 10+ years. The best light bulb for you will depend on a number of factors including budget, wattage, color, whether or not you want them to be smart home compatible, and whether you’re interested in incandescent, LED, or CFL bulbs. This product is said to have a lifespan of 10+ years, and is estimated to save you about $60 in energy costs over those years compared to traditional incandescent lights. Philips' 8.5-watt Soft White LED Light Bulbs-that's equivalent to 60-watts in an incandescent bulb-are available in two different styles: soft light, which gives off a warmer and more cozy vibe that’s perfect for a relaxed mood (great for your living room and bedroom lamps), and daylight, which has the look of natural sunlight. Plus, they don’t heat up as much as incandescent bulbs do during operation. They are ideal in reading nooks, as under-cabinet lighting, and as task lights. This makes them great for lighting up a specific space. While the bulbs are longer-lasting and more energy efficient than your standard incandescent bulb, they focus their light in one direction as opposed to diffusing around a room. If you want to go for the latest technology, opt for LED, which stands for “light emitting diode.” It used to be that these bulbs were only for specialty lamps, but nowadays they can fit into the standard screw-in connector featured in most lamps and light sockets.
