Cheap LED Light Bulbs for Your Home

5/2/2017

0 Comments

 
While we caution consumers against buying cheap LED bulbs because of potential quality issues, we sometimes score a great deal on name brand LEDs so we can pass along savings and bring you more than just cheap LEDs, but actually a great value in LEDs.

And while you may get free shipping elsewhere, remember that "free shipping" really means that shipping is built into the cost of a product. We offer flat rate shipping so when you buy many of these bargain LEDs at once, you're likely to ​save plenty even with the cost of shipping.

Now Lighting Supply specializes in commercial lighting, but of course many bulbs used in offices are also used in homes. So we've put together a couple for the home that we have at exceptional prices right now.

Since houses have typically used incandescent bulbs, whose color temperature (apparent warmth of the light) is 2700K, we are featuring only 2700K LEDs below. All prices and availability are at the time of this writing and are of course subject to change.
​

Cheap A19 LEDs

A19 bulbs are some of the most common found in houses. And 60 watt incandescent bulbs may have been the most common among these prior to CFLs and LEDs. While a quality dimmable A19 LED with a longer rated life is usually close to (or over) $5, we're proud to offer a couple of 4-pack options with individual bulb prices as low as $1.99. Please note that the 4-pack lamps are non-dimmable.

TCP A19 LEDs
TCP non-dimmable with 10,000 hour rated life: $1.99 each.
GE A19 LED
Dimmable with 15,000 hour rated life: $3.95
Satco A19 LEDs
Satco non-dimmable with 10,000 hour rated life: $2.99 each.


​Cheap BR30 LEDs

If you have recessed cans in your home for general lighting, BR lamps are ideally suited for these. (PAR lamps provide more precise lighting to feature specific areas or objects, rather than the diffuse general lighting of BR lamps.) We have a great deal on this Sylvania BR30 LED: just $3.74 per bulb in this 2-pack.

​Warm Glow LEDs

Warm glow LEDs don't fall under the category of "cheap," but they offer a lovely effect and we offer them at some of the best values you can find. Designed to mimic the effect of incandescent bulbs, their color temperature becomes warmer as you dim them. The image shown here from Philips demonstrates this.

​Available in a variety of shapes and wattages, you can find our selection here.

Cheap Edison Bulbs and LED Edison Bulbs

Due to their popularity for decorative purposes, we wanted to also point out the value we offer in Edison bulbs. These are the retro style lamps you see in many places like bars and cafes. Designed to look like early light bulbs, they offer some of the "warmest" looking light available.

We have traditional incandescent Edison bulbs from just $3.25 each. We also offer LED Edison bulbs, which are rising in popularity because they cost so much less to operate. While it's a matter of opinion, they may not yet capture quite the same warmth as the incandescent bulbs, but we've carefully chosen the TCP brand because they're one of the best at rendering that warm Edison bulb look. These start well under $10 each.
