Hi,For me, the biggest surprise was that I only started noticing the savings after a few months. My electricity bills didn’t suddenly drop dramatically, but over the course of a year, the difference became noticeable. On top of that, LED bulbs barely heat up and use much less electricity, so switching definitely felt worthwhile.I wouldn’t focus only on the brand. It’s also worth paying attention to the lumen output, color temperature, and CRI (the higher the CRI, the more natural the colors look). In my experience, it’s better to buy good-quality LED bulbs once than replace the cheapest ones every few months. That approach has worked best for me.
