Moreover, they are free of mercury, can be used with dimmer switches and give off almost no heat, to name just a few more advantages. Their extended life span makes them a perfect choice for those hard-to-reach places such as outdoor lamps and lights intended to stay on. Yes, they are more expensive than standard light bulbs, but the savings for energy and replacement cost will easily make up for the initial investment.
