This competition is now closed. A crazy number of entries were received – thank you!
Congratulations to our winner @faffysibs, who was chosen, using random.org. Please get in touch with me and Samsung will get your prize to you!
It’s no secret that we’re a Samsung-mad family. From our televisions, fridge, mobile phones, watch and other home appliances, Samsung is the one brand that never fails us.
So I was quite excited to find out about Samsung’s range of LED lights. We use LED lighting throughout our house and have found it to be friendlier to our eyeballs and our wallets! Has your family made the switch to LED lighting?
Here are five reasons why you should make the change and switch to LED:
- LED lights bring 80% more energy efficiency that CFLs (compact fluorescent lamps)
- Compared to an incandescent bulb, LED light bulbs last up to 15 times longer
- Cost-effective and good for your electricity bill
- Fewer light bulbs to buy and change
- LEDs are also dimmable to the softest levels with absolutely no flickering or annoying buzz
And as a bonus, “Samsung LED lights lasts up to 40 times longer than traditional incandescent bulbs, resulting in a dramatic reduction in labour and replacement lamp costs. At the same time they provide substantial savings on overall electricity bills, with a recoup of investment time of between one and two years,” says Michael McKechnie, Business Leader for Digital Air Solutions at Samsung Electronics South Africa.
Now here’s the best part! The lovely folks over at Samsung have given me the opportunity to give away one Samsung LED Light hamper so you can get started on changing to the way better way to light your home!

When I get home and kick off my shoes after a hard day at and just be so happy to be in my beatiful home and greet my neighbours cat who is always glad to see me. That is one thing I wait for everyday as I live alone.
My boyfriend,the love of my life and my best friend,and my two little nephews light up my life:) #SamsungLED
Family and spending lots of time with them 🙂
I’m going to be the first person to answer the question honestly.
What lights up my life? The sun. The sun lights up all of our lives – and is the root power source for pretty much everything else. That nice family of yours wouldn’t exist without it, and neither would you 😉
There is actually a documentary about what would happen if the sun were covered up. It is really worth the watch: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Animatrix and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matrix_%28franchise%29
When I see my kids after they have been at school/movies/friends. I love that moment of love as our smiles meet.
ok, enough of the soppiness…promise 😛

My hubby, my kids, my parents, my sister and my pets light up my life
When my little pink terrorist does a belly laugh about something silly – also when she tells me that I make the best food in the world (fish fingers and peas night!), and of course those super cuddles and I love yous in between the expected tantrums where she tells me that i am not her friend and she’s NOT inviting me to her party. 😉
I guess you could summarise it all as love…
My beautiful wife and 3 amazing kids are the light of my life! I can have the worst day at work but when get home & see them standing at the front door waiting for me all of that becomes insignificant…
Cutting down on electricity costs while lighting up your home brighter than before now that lights up my life.
Samsung LED lights up my life when I can resume my daily goings on under a cool white/blue light when unforeseeable lack of power arises and I can stay calm because of their tranquil glow!
As brand loyalty goes these Samsung LEDs will match my televisions, pc monitor, microwave, phone and refrigerator just splendidly!
My family and friends can light up any bad day 🙂
when i see someone contributing to the environment either by sharing or helping someone in need.
Every time I see that there’s a new post on here, my life gets lit up! 😉
Ooh thats awesome! My Glugster and I are both Samsung phone owners, and our TV is a Samsung too!
Ooh… What lights up my life – my husband and my dogs. And baking. And my friends.
🙂
Finding out that I can stream videos from my Samsung Series 7 laptop to my Samsung Series 7 TV with no wires was a pretty illuminating moment. Same goes for my Samsung Galaxy phone, now I can watch all the videos of my new niece from on my phone via big screen TV. Oh, and puppies and kittens and chocolate!
My baby (1 year old) does! 🙂 nothing better than waking up to his face everyday.
Hopefully I’ll have two things that light up my life! Samsung LED lights & so I can see my current sunshine! 🙂
Holding thumbs! x
I’m greatful to God, for allowing me to wake up to a beautiful morning everyday. Life is challenging & fun. I make the most of everyday. Travelling lights up my life. Visiting different parts of our beautiful country, enjoying nature, going on game drives/tours. South Africa has so much to offer & see. I have a list of places I would still love to visit in 2014. I’m going to make my dreams a reality. #SamsungLED
Love life, Love Family, Love saving the planet & Love Samsung LED
Well a lower electricity bill would light up my life !!!!! And who wants to climb ladders every week to change a light bulb anyway !!!
A warm smile and Music lights up everything !
Lighting is quite literally my life. As a theatre lighting designer I am always investigating new technologies and am particularly interested in LED colour temperatures – LED to tungeston halegon colour conversions consume my working hours. The idea of new energy conservant green footprints are not only exciting but imperative!
Ooh these sound great. I’ve already switched to fluorescents, but I don’t think they are as good at LEDs. I’d love to give LEDs a try!
I also love Samsung products. They look good, last well and are great value for money.
What lights up my life? Laughter!
It’s the smile of my 10-year old daughter and the hilarious chirps my 7-year old son comes up with so often.
being able to draw. it’s comforting and a way to express things that i usually can’t articulate properly. my psychiatrist is in favour of it as well so i guess that lights up my life (along with the high doses of meds hahaha)
and of course, cheesy as it is, my son. he’s my “keep going” person and the reason i make an effort to try assimilate into the “normal” world as best i can
My husband ans cats
My hubby lights up my life
Seeing you’re parents, siblings and pets after a long while that lights up my life 🙂
Our dogs light up my life. They’re always excited to see me and their cute faces make me happy every day.
Going home and having someone there waiting for me. To chat to and have a meal with . Having my dad stay with me when he visits…lights up my day and my life because I love him so much.
Coming home to a house filled with love laughter and Joy.
I’d love to say a lot of things but when it comes down to it – right now … seeing my niece happy and doing so well in school and with everything she does really lights me up. I love spending time with her, just a pity they live far away
