| Low Energy Light Bulbs |
What are Low Energy Light Bulbs?Low energy light bulbs are a great way of helping you to save money, as well contributing to the cutting of carbon emissions from the UK.
Low energy bulbs are an alternative to traditional light bulbs, which are more cost-efficient and produce less environmentally damaging waste. They use electricity, gas and phosphor to produce light, where standard bulbs use electricity alone – a lot of which is wasted as heat.
Can I Save Money with Low Energy Light Bulbs?A standard 60-watt light bulb costs around £38 pounds per year to run, assuming that it is used for 1000 hours. Check out how many 60-watt bulbs you have in your house and multiply that number by 38; this will give you a rough idea of how much of your electricity bill is spent on lighting alone. 15-watt
energy saving light bulbs provide the same amount of light at round one fifth of the cost – in this example, that works out at around £7.50 per bulb, per year.
Imagine that all your standard 60-watt light bulbs have been replaced by
energy saving bulbs. Count them up and multiply that figure by 7.5. That’s the lighting bill you could be looking at if you make the switch to
energy saving light bulbs. It’s also worth considering that low energy bulbs last up to 10 times longer than conventional ones. In this current recession, every penny counts.
Why Use Low Energy Light Bulbs?As well as costing you less, they cost the environment less. The ‘greenhouse gases’ that we hear so much about are responsible for global warming. Who is responsible for the gases? We are.
Living organisms naturally produce carbon dioxide, one of the major greenhouse gases, but the products we use also produce it. An estimated 25% of the UK’s carbon dioxide emissions come from domestic products – including lighting. Standard bulbs emit a lot of this gas, whereas low energy ones emit a lot less.

Why Use Energy Saving Light Bulbs?
Firstly, they will save you money and, in the current economic situation, that is important to all of us.
Secondly, they are kinder to the environment. The main waste product from traditional bulbs is carbon dioxide, which is the biggest contributing factor to global warming. Almost 25% of the UK’s carbon emissions come from domestic household products.
By using energy saving bulbs, you can honestly say that you are ‘doing your bit’ for the environment, as the carbon dioxide emitted from these bulbs is far less. Tell your friends to visit ecofriendlylightbulbs.co.uk and they’ll be able to enjoy lighting that doesn’t cost the Earth.
