Protect your pocket with energy-saving light bulbs

All traditional incandescent bulbs have been banned to accommodate the shift towards more efficient technologies. The less efficient halogen bulbs were phased out by the EU in 2018 and replaced by energy-efficient light bulbs. Therefore, Europe is now using less energy than ever before thanks to energy-saving lights.

So let’s talk about energy-efficiency lighting facts.

If you replaced every bulb in your home with LED bulbs of the same brightness, you could save around £35 per year on your electricity bill. 
 

Not only that but LEDs also:

• Offer improved light quality from the moment they're switched on,

• Come in a wide variety of sizes and fittings,

• Plus, each bulb lasts up to 25 years.

Once you've installed your energy-saving light bulbs, you can save even more money by following these simple steps: 
 

• Switch the light off when you leave a room.
• Only switch on the lights that you need.
• Install movement sensors and timers in appropriate rooms. 
• Invest in smart bulbs to be able to control them from your smartphone or tablet – great for when you're away from home or just don't want to leave the sofa!
• Hire a qualified electrician to reposition your light switches to convenient areas. 
  
  Ever wondered whether dimming lights can save you energy? Well, the answer is yes! Light dimmers reduce the flow of electricity to the bulb, allowing the lights to operate with lower power inputs.
