FORTUNA, Calif., Nov. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Last month, the Washington Post reported a Harris Interactive survey showing that business owners project a major loss in revenue as consumer concern over energy costs continue to grow and in profits as their own energy bills soar.

With energy costs on the rise and confidence in the economy taking a hit because of it, C. Crane Company, Inc., the pioneer in Light Emitting Diode or LED flashlights, offers a solution to save consumers and businesses approximately $70 a year for every bulb they replace.

For consumers who replace accent lights, porch lights, or reading lights with these standard-fitting, long-lasting bulbs, replacing just five bulbs would save up to $350 each year. With bulbs lasting 60 times longer than incandescent and six times longer than CFL (compact fluorescent lights) bulbs, businesses save energy costs, and the labor costs of changing bulbs.

C. Crane's LED light bulbs make it easy to participate in the EPA's (Environmental Protection Agency) "Change a Light, Change the World" campaign, which encourages the replacement of one regular light bulb per household with an energy-efficient bulb. The EPA states that if each American household were to replace just one regular light bulb with an energy-efficient bulb, the country would save an astounding $600 million in energy costs.

In fact, if every household in the United States replaced just one standard 60W light bulb with the new VIVID LED bulb, the country would save 24,184,400,000W, which is enough to completely shut down the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, the largest power plant in the country.

"My favorite thing about these LED light bulbs is that they give a tangible thing you can do to combat excessive power consumption in this county," remarked company president Bob Crane, noting that burning billions of pounds of fuel is probably not good for the planet. He added, "It makes good sense on an individual level, too, since it even helps their own pocketbooks."

For over 25 years C. Crane Company, a privately held company in Fortuna, California, has been the leading innovator in the electronics industry and electronics design. C. Crane Company has been a forerunner in LED lighting sales and technology since they began their research and development of multiple white LED flashlights in 1997. Look for several new innovations from C. Crane Company at this January's Consumer Electronics Show. For more information about the C.
