It makes perfect sense
Yes, I do call myself a writer. The graf makes perfect sense. That's not to say I don't make the occasional mistake. We all do. In this case, it makes sense and I stand by it. Here is the graf in question below:
"At that price, the new streetlight bulbs would be comparable to conventional high-pressure sodium vacuum technology when ??? and here???s the main caveat ???maintenance and energy costs are included.
Let me break this down. The company claims its LED bulbs are comparable in price when you take into account maintenance and energy costs. In other words, Cree is saying their LED bulbs are more efficient, use less energy and require less maintenance. This is important to note because the sticker price of the LED streetlights are more expensive than the conventional models. The company's point is this: When taking factors like energy and maintenance costs into consideration, the price is comparable.
