I’m terribly careless with my sunglasses, sitting on them, losing them, tossing them casually in my purse…but if I owned a pair of these high end shades which retail for $370, I’d like to think that I’d be more careful with them.
iwood shades are surprisingly lightweight, and provide 100 percent UVA/UVB protection. They’re handmade in the midwest, and created from 10 layers of teak, reclaimed from industrial veneer manufacturers, and coated with an eco friendly sealant to prevent warping. Especially designed to keep their shape, even under very humid conditions.

Home Depot is providing consumers a wide array of LED lighting choices – and the most affordable. The Company now offers a proprietary brand of LEDs under the EcoSmart name, including
a bulb that retails for $19.97 and is a 40W equivalent, offering 429 lumen with a 50,000 hour expected lifetime, making it the most affordable bulb of its kind in the market to date. In comparison, just two years ago, a 60-watt equivalent cost $90 and a 100-watt dimmable bulb went for $360. In addition, the Company will offer LED bulbs that support many different types of fixtures including: accent lighting, track lighting, room lighting, outdoor spotlights and all are fully dimmable. Home Depot also offers LED lighting choices from many of the leading LED manufacturers including: Philips, Lighting Science Group and Cree.
LEDs are innovative technology that help save energy because they use up to 85 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs and up to 50 percent less energy than CFL bulbs without sacrificing light quality. In addition to being extremely energy-efficient, their life is exceptionally long, cutting down both operating costs and inconvenience of maintenance.
Note: By 2014 the manufacture of most incandescent bulbs will be discontinued by federal mandate.
