## Style, Green Lighting and Attractive Energy Savings

Absolutely! I’d be happy to write a great post from Seth Leitman, the Green Living
Guy, about Toshiba’s new LED lamps. Here’s the post:

Hey there, green enthusiasts! [Seth Leitman](https://greenlivingguy.com/2022/02/the-green-living-guy-seth-leitman-involving-more-people-in-his-advocacy/),
your friendly neighborhood Green Living Guy, here with some electrifying news that’ll
light up your day – and your home!

Folks, let me tell you, Toshiba International Corporation has just [taken green lighting](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/10/toshiba-green-win-a-home-makeover-at-greenbuild/)
to a whole new level of awesome. On August 14, 2012, they unveiled something that’s
got me buzzing with excitement – elegant candelabra LED lamps that are as easy on
the eyes as they are on your energy bill!

### Toshiba LED Candelabras

Now, I know what you’re thinking. “Seth, candelabras? Aren’t those those fancy-schmancy
light fixtures we see in period dramas?” Well, yes! But Toshiba has brought them
right into the 21st century with their new candelabra 180 series. Trust me, these
aren’t your grandma’s candelabras!

Let’s break it down, shall we? These beauties are direct replacements for those 
old 25W incandescent candelabras. They fit snugly into standard E12 and E26 socket
fixtures, so you don’t need to rewire your entire house to go green. But here’s 
the kicker – they’re ENERGY STAR® qualified and use up to 84% less energy than their
incandescent cousins. That’s right, 84%! My green heart is doing cartwheels just
thinking about it.

But wait, there’s more! Peter DallePezze, the VP of Marketing and Product Development
at Toshiba’s LED Lighting Systems Division, says these lamps create an “inviting,
warm light that brings out the colors and elegance of any room.” So not only are
you saving energy, but you’re also making your space look fabulous. It’s a win-win!

#### Toshiba LED Longevity 

Now, let’s talk longevity. We all know LEDs last a long time, but Toshiba has really
outdone themselves here. These candelabra lamps are rated to last 25,000 hours. 
That’s up to 16 times longer than incandescent bulbs! Just think about all those
times you won’t have to climb a ladder to change a burnt-out bulb. Your knees will
thank you!

#### Toshiba Equals Longevity

But Toshiba didn’t stop at energy efficiency and longevity. They’ve packed these
lamps with features that’ll make any eco-conscious homeowner swoon:

 1. They’re dimmable – set the mood without compromising on energy savings.
 2. Zero mercury or lead – because we love our planet, right?
 3. 2700K color temperature – that’s a warm, cozy light that’ll make your home feel
    like, well, home.
 4. Available in frosted (185 lumens) or clear (175 lumens) finishes – choose your 
    style!
 5. Comes with a nifty removable adaptor – fits E26 sockets too. No socket left behind!

Toshiba is really pushing the envelope with LED technology. They’re not just stopping
at candelabras – they’re expanding their range to include A19s, PARs, MRs, and BR30
lamps. It’s clear they’re committed to broadening our options for energy-efficient
lighting in homes, offices, and industrial spaces.

### Conclusion

So, my fellow green warriors, if you’ve been waiting for a sign to make the switch
to LED, this is it! Toshiba’s new candelabra LEDs offer exquisite style, [green lighting](https://greenlivingguy.com/2019/01/reader-sees-the-light-on-green-lighting/),
and attractive energy savings. It’s time to light up your life – the eco-friendly
way!

Remember, every small change we make adds up to a big difference for our planet.
So let’s keep living green and loving it!

This is Seth Leitman, the Green Living Guy, signing off. Stay green, my friends!
