"The down economic system has pressured everyone to stretch family budgets, and some have found that repairing an equipment can save as a lot as 80 % over a brand new buy," explains Badal Wadia, an electrical engineer and co-founder of CoreCentric Options, Inc., an unbiased equipment parts rebuilder.

Philips' Hue lights offer some live performance lighting effects proper in your own house. Screw these LED bulbs into your regular fixtures, install the app to your cellphone or tablet, after which you may flip the lights on or off, brighten or dim them, or maybe best of all, change the color. Then you may even program the lights to carry out just about any mixture of coloration and brightness, and control up to 50 lights on one bridge (which links the lights to your phone). The extra lights you've got the more enjoyable it will be. But it's going to cost you -- a starter pack with three bulbs and a bridge goes for round $200.
