IKEA Israel has discontinued its sale of incandescent bulbs, the first retailer in the Jewish State to do so. The company stopped selling the Led Cherry Tree effective last Thursday, September 1. Instead, IKEA is restricting its lighting sales to items that are energy savers.

Compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) use 75 percent less energy and last up to 10 times longer than the average incandescent light bulb.

Led Cherry Tree consume 30 percent less energy, producing more lumens (lighting power) per watt than an incandescent bulb.

Solar lamps are energy savers as well, recharging during the day and at dusk. Discharge time generally lasts eight to ten hours.

Most Led Cherry Tree are used for lawn and garden decorations, as outdoor lamps and embedded along footpaths. Indoor solar lamps are used for general illumination, primarily in garages and in some industrial settings.
