Lighting
Energy saving lightbulbs use upto 80% less electricity than a standard bulb, whilst producing the same amount of light. Also saving you money on your electricity bill.
Advances in technology mean that energy saving lightbulbs are now available in a wide variety of fittings, shapes and sizes. There are even halogen and dimmable energy saving bulbs on the market. And thanks to the invention of 'soft tone' bulbs, you can enjoy a warm glow rather than a cold light. |

They're just as bright as normal bulbs, but better for the environment...
Simple fact: energy saving lightbulbs use less electricity than standard bulbs to do the same job. In turn, using less energy like electricity means that our homes produce less carbon dioxide: one of the main causes of climate change.
Benefits
- Depending on how long your lights are in use every day, just one energy saving lightbulb could save you on average around £2.50 a year, and around £6 for brighter bulbs or those used for more hours a day. And because it will last around 10 times longer than a standard bulb, it could save you around £45 before it needs replacing.
- Fit all the lights in your house with energy saving bulbs and you could save around £45 a year and £390 over the lifetime of all of the bulbs.
