Energy Saving Light Bulbs

Energy saving light bulbs use up to four times less electricity to generate the same amount of light. Where you'd normally use a 60W bulb, you'll only need a 13-18W energy saving recommended equivalent.

Lighting Costs

Traditional light bulbs cost less than more efficient bulbs, but they don't really save you money!

An energy saving recommended light bulb will cost you around £3.50 compared to 50p for a regular bulb, but it will save you around £9 on your annual electricity bill and up to £100 over its lifetime! Remember to look for the energy saving recommended logo.

Location

Use energy saving light bulbs in areas of your home where you use the most light - the hall, the landing and your childrens' bedrooms.

Types of Bulbs

Energy saving bulbs come in a range of styles, shapes and sizes, including bayonet, screw cap fittings and dimmer bulbs. Always check manufacturer's instructions before installing new bulbs.
