98 cent LED lightbulbs

Peter Rukavina

Home Depot in Charlottetown has a vat of Ecosmart 60 watt-equivalent LED lightbulbs at the front of the store near the customer service desk, on sale for 98 cents each.

They give of a lovely warm light, and the rooms I’ve placed them in have been transformed from hospital-waiting-room to serious-hygge.

As an aside, Ecosmart is a Home Depot house brand, which has become an issue for the Eco-$mart company:

We do not sell any LED or CFL lamps to Home Depot, nor do we manufacture any lamps. We are a distributor. Home Depot simply uses a similar name to our website URL (www.ecosmartinc.com) for their private label lamps “Ecosmart”, made for them by several different manufacturers, none of whom are us.

It's amazing how quickly they came down in price. It seems the first two-pack of LED bulbs I bought was $10. Thanks for the tip!

Are they being government subsidized? That used to be common where I've lived in the states. I've even had LED bulbs delivered to me free.
