Are you still rocking older incandescent bulbs? It’s time to replace them with LEDs. Today, we found you some 1,500-lumen LED light bulbs which are sure to brighten any room. Using just 14W of electricity, these lights use less power than traditional bulbs and also output less heat overall. Plus, they’ll last you for at least two years, if not more with normal use. Right now, you can pick up six of these lights for $15 at Amazon, which makes them just $2.50 each and marks a return to the 2023 low that we’ve tracked. We also have a wide selection of Tesla and e-bike discounts in today’s New Green Deals, so you won’t want to miss that either.

Head below for other New Green Deals that we’ve found today and of course Electrek’s best EV buying and leasing deals. Also

Replace your old incandescent bulbs with these 1,500-lumen LEDs

Lepro US (100% positive feedback past 12 months) via Amazon is offering a 6-pack of its 1,500-lumen 14W LED Light Bulbs for $15.19 in both 2,700K and 5,000K color temperatures with free shipping for Prime members or in orders over $25. For comparison, you’d normally pay $19 for these light bulbs and today’s deal comes in at 21% off. Not only that, but it marks a return to the best price of the year and makes the bulbs just $2.50 each. If you’ve yet to add LED lights to your home, these are bright and energy efficient while also being budget-friendly.

Going with LED bulbs is beneficial for so many reasons. For starters, you’ll use much less power to run them. These 1,500 lumen bulbs take up just 14W of electricity. For comparison, a traditional incandescent bulb would need 150W to output this same brightness. Not only that, but these bulbs output less heat, which means your home’s air conditioning will have to do less work to keep things cool. That might not be something that you think of, but having four to six 60W traditional light bulbs in a bathroom fixture outputs quite a bit of heat. On top of that, these lights have a 10,000 hour lifespan. That equates to 1,250 consecutive days of use for height hours a day, or 833 days for 12 hours a day. So, you likely won’t have to replace these bulbs for at least two years once installed, if not 3-4 years.

Rachio Smart Hose system waters the lawn for you and keeps bills down at $60 (New low)

As part of its Father’s Day deals, Amazon is now offering Rachio’s new Smart Hose Timer at $59.99 shipped. It initially debuted for CES 2023 earlier this year at $100 shipped and is now at the lowest price we can find. Today’s offer is only the third time we have seen the smart watering system on sale since its release. Including everything you need to get going – the valve attachment, FREE app access, and the Wi-Fi hub – installation only takes a “couple minutes.” It is designed to provide a way for your average homeowner without a built-in sprinkler system (or anyone with an outdoor hose spigot), to leverage convenient, money-saving watering features this summer. It will bring smartphone-controlled watering, automated scheduling, and the ability to make use of Rachio’s auto rain-skip feature to bring bills down as low as possible while still maintaining a healthy lawn or garden. Get more details in our launch coverage.

Greenworks might be a little late to the party, but one of our favorite electric tool brands is finally getting in on the Father’s Day savings. Launching a sale across much of its stable of popular electric mowers and other gear for the tool shed, you’ll find sizable discounts on standalone tools and even bundles. Everything ships free too, though might not arrive in time for the big day this weekend. A highlight has the 80V 21-inch Electric Mower marked down to $559.99. Down from $700, this package includes a pair of 2.5Ah batteries and is now $140 off. It’s $40 under our last mention from earlier in the year, and landing at a new 2023 low. As the most capable electric lawn mower we’ve seen go on sale from Greenworks as of late, this model stands out with 80V of power that pairs with a larger 21-inch cutting deck. Alongside being self-propelled so you don’t have to work too hard, it also rocks a 4-in-1 design for bagging, mulching or side discharge – plus an added turbo mode for extra power. There’s of course no gas or oil to fuss with here either, so you can kickstart your mowing routine ahead of summer with a bit of a green touch.

Throughout the Greenworks Father’s Day sale, you’ll also find more than just mowers. There are tons of electric discounts across other gear for the tool shed, including leaf blowers, string trimmers, and more. Also special for this event, there’s an assortment of bundles that offer even deeper discounts for giving dad, or yourself, a complete kit that ditches your reliance on gas and oil. There’s never been a better time to finally see what all of the fuss is about making the swap to electrics tools.

Snow Joe 24V iON+ 13-inch cordless snow shovel sees off-season sale to new low of $50

Woot is currently offering the Snow Joe 24V iON+ 13-inch Cordless Snow Shovel Kit for $49.99 Prime shipped, with non-Prime members being charged a $6 delivery fee. For comparison, this electric snow shovel has been falling in price all year and just hit a new low of $70 at Amazon. Today’s deal comes in at $20 below that to deliver a new all-time low that we’ve tracked. However, to show just how good of an off-season deal this is, back in October, this same kit went for $176 on sale, and at that point, it was typically going for $225. So, if you’ve been waiting for the best time to pick up a snow shovel, now’s your chance when nobody else is thinking of buying one. While you might not need a snow shovel right now (hopefully), off-season deals are the best time to buy. This snow shovel has a 13-inch wide path and is powered by a 24V 5Ah battery that’s included, meaning you won’t have to worry about dragging an extension cord or dealing with gas or oil here. The 2-blade paddle auger will throw snow up to 20 feet away, and even digs out up to six inches deep at one time. Plus, the 24V battery works with other Snow Joe and Sun Joe gear you might have for summer or winter lawn care, making it a versatile buy all around.

Workhorse electric delivery vans arrive in Canada this spring

Workhorse electric delivery vans arrive in Canada this spring

Following approval from Transport Canada, EV startup Workhorse will be bringing the W56 and W750 model electric delivery vans to commercial truck dealers in Canada as early as this spring.

Workhorse first showed its W56 medium-duty electric truck at Indiana’s Work Truck Week in 2023, and has sold the trucks to logistics and delivery companies like FedEx and Pride Group – which ordered more than six thousand of the electric vans in 2021, and continues to expand its fleet.

“This is a major step forward for Workhorse,” says Josh Anderson, Workhorse’s chief technology officer in a press statement. “Pre-clearance from Transport Canada opens up a large new market for our products throughout Canada, including with fleets that operate across borders in North America.”

As part of the approval process, Workhorse completed its registration as a foreign manufacturer under Transport Canada’s Appendix G clearance program. Transport Canada confirmed the vans’ compliance with Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS) for both vehicles – but it remains to be seen if and how the latest tariff-driven trade war between the Trump Administration’s US and Canada will impact Workhorse’s plans to expand throughout North America.

Despite that uncertainty, Workhorse execs remain upbeat. “We’re excited that our electric step vans can now reach Canadian roads and highways, providing reliable, zero-emission solutions that customers can depend on,” added Anderson.

Canadian pricing has yet to be announced.

Electrek’s Take

There’s no other way to say it: the Trump/Musk co-presidency is disrupting a lot of companies’ plans – and that’s especially true across North American borders. But in all this chaos and turmoil there undoubtedly lies opportunity, and it will be interesting to see who ends up on top.

Liebherr developing giant, 140-ton Segway-style autonomous haulers [video]

Liebherr developing giant, 140-ton Segway-style autonomous haulers [video]

The new Liebherr S1 Vision 140-ton hauler is unlike any heavy haul truck currently on the market – primarily because the giant, self-propelled, single-axle autonomous bucket doesn’t look anything like any truck you’ve ever seen.

Liebherr says its latest heavy equipment concept was born from a desire to rethink truck design with a focus only on core functions. The resulting S1 Vision is primarily just a single axle with two powerful electric motors sending power to a pair of massive airless tires designed carry loads up to 131 tonnes (just over 140 tons).

The design enables rapid maintenance, as important components easily accessible for quick servicing. Wear parts can be replaced efficiently, and the electric drive significantly reduces maintenance work. This helps to minimise downtimes and increases operational efficiency.

LIEBHERR

Because of its versatility, durability, and ability to perform zero-turn maneuvers that other equipment simply can’t, the Liebherr S1 Vision can be adapted for various applications, including earthmoving, mining, and even agriculture. There’s also a nonzero chance of this technology finding applications supporting other on-site equipment through charging or fuel delivery.

The S1 accomplishes that trick safely with the help of an automatic load leveling system that ensures maximum stability, even on bumpy or rough terrain. The company says this technology significantly reduces the risk of tipping while providing smooth and secure operation across various environments.

Liebherr will show the S1 Vision at this year’s bauma equipment exhibition in Munich, Germany. The design has already been nominated for the bauma Innovation Award in the Mechanical Engineering category – and my money’s on it winning.

Electrek’s Take

This is such goofy, stupid fun that if it was wheelbarrow-sized I’d have three of them. I can’t imagine the insanity of watching one of these things roll across a job site with 100 tons of granite in the bucket – and will have nightmares about the kind of damage it could do if it flipped out like a poorly made Chinese hoverboard clone whipping a toddler across a living room … which, in fairness, would probably get a billion views on Instagram or TikTok or whatever.

I can’t wait.

Meet the newest EV from Hyundai – new HX19e electric excavator

Meet the newest EV from Hyundai – new HX19e electric excavator

The HD arm of Hyundai has just released the first official images of the new, battery-electric HX19e mini excavator – the first ever production electric excavator from the global South Korean manufacturer.

The HX19e will be the first all-electric asset to enter series production at Hyundai Construction Equipment, with manufacturing set to begin this April.

The new HX19e will be offered with either a 32 kWh or 40 kWh li-ion battery pack – which, according to Hyundai, is nearly double the capacity offered by its nearest competitor (pretty sure that’s not correct –Ed.). The 40kWh battery allows for up to 6 hours and 40 minutes of continuous operation between charges, with a break time top-up on delivering full shift usability.

Those batteries send power to a 13 kW (17.5 hp) electric motor that drives an open-center hydraulic system. Hyundai claims the system delivers job site performance that is at least equal to, if not better than, that of its diesel-powered HX19A mini excavator.

To that end, the Hyundai XH19e offers the same 16 kN bucket breakout force and a slightly higher 9.4 kN (just over 2100 lb-ft) dipper arm breakout force. The maximum digging depth is 7.6 feet, and the maximum digging reach is 12.9 feet. Hyundai will offer the new electric excavator with just four selectable options:

  • enclosed cab vs. open canopy
  • 32 or 40 kWh battery capacity

All HX19es will ship with a high standard specification that includes safety valves on the main boom, dipper arm, and dozer blade hydraulic cylinders, as well as two-way auxiliary hydraulic piping allows the machine to be used with a range of commercially available implements. The hydraulics needed to operate a quick coupler, LED booms lights, rotating beacons, an MP3 radio with USB connectivity, and an operator’s seat with mechanical suspension are also standard.

Like its counterparts at Volvo CE, the new Hyundai excavator uses automotive-style charging ports to take advantage of existing infrastructure at fleet depots and public charging stations. More detailed specifications, dimensions, and pricing should be announced by bauma.

Electrek’s Take

The ability to operate indoors, underground, or in environments like zoos and hospitals were keeping noise levels down is of critical importance to the success of an operation makes electric equipment assets like these coming from Hyundai a must-have for fleet operators and construction crews that hope to remain competitive in the face of ever-increasing noise regulations. The fact that these are cleaner, safer, and cheaper to operate is just icing on that cake.
