LESLIE: Bill in Nevada is on the line with an LED-lighting question. What can we do for you?
BILL: I recently replaced a standard, overhead, incandescent lighting fixture with an LED lighting fixture. The installation went OK; everything works. But when you turn on the light, there’s a delay. There’s about a second-and-a-half, maybe a two-second delay before the lights actually come on. Is that standard? What causes it? And more importantly, is there something I can do about it?
TOM: Yeah, I’ve seen that with some LED fixtures that I have and I never thought it was anything other than normal. LED bulbs themselves are pretty complicated when you look at all the circuitry. And I just presume that’s what it takes to bring the light up and maintain it at that level. So I’ve never thought twice about that being an issue. But I could see how it might surprise you.
BILL: So you’ve seen it before?
TOM: Oh, yeah. I’ve definitely seen it before.
BILL: Alright. Well, that was the question. I appreciate you taking it and giving me a good, quick answer.
TOM: Alright. You’ve got it. Thanks so much for calling us at 888-MONEY-PIT.
