As your incandescents burn out, it's a good time to consider switching to LED Lighting.

LEDs have an impressive lifespan (20-something years!) and are very cost-effective.

Now's the right time to switch to LEDs. These bulbs have made significant advances over the last few years, finally delivering the warm light incandescents have comforted us with for decades.

Because there are so many LED varieties, choosing an LED is entirely different from picking up an incandescent. Before you head to the store, find out what you need to know about choosing the right LED Lighting.

1. Lumens, not watts

Forget what you know about incandescents -- your watts are no good here.

2. Choosing the right color LED

You can always count on incandescents providing a warm, yellowish hue. But LEDs come in a wide range of colors.

3. You'll pay more for an LED bulb

LED Lighting are like hybrid cars: cheaper to operate but pricey upfront.

4. Watch out for non-dimmable LEDs

Because of their circuitry, LEDs are not always compatible with traditional dimming switches. In some cases, the switch must be replaced. Other times, you'll pay a little more for a compatible LED.

5. Not all light fixtures should use LEDs

Knowing where it's OK to place an LED will ensure that the bulb won't fizzle ahead of its time.
