Yes, they may take longer than alternatives to reach their full power, but there are now more good reasons than ever to buy energy saving light bulbs. Let’s take a look at a small handful of these reasons:
- Cost – energy saving lightbulbs use 80% less electricity than standard bulbs
- Much more friendly to the environment through energy savings
Tests have shown that many people cannot tell the difference in the light emitted by traditional light bulbs and energy saving alternatives.
It’s also worth noting that the aesthetics of energy saving light bulbs have changed dramatically over the years. In fact, there are now stylish alternatives that fit in with any surrounding perfectly; this in contrast to the uniform shapes of traditional bulbs.
Savings
So, what kind of savings could you expect from using energy saving bulbs? Well, depending on your usage each day, one energy saving bulb could save around £2.50 a year, and approximately £6 for brighter bulbs. As an energy saving bulb has a life cycle of 10 times longer than a standard bulb, it could save you around £45 before it needs replacing.
Ultimately, if you fit all the lights in your house with energy saving bulbs, you could potentially save approximately £45 a year and subsequently £670 over the lifetime of all of the bulbs.
Should you decide to move away from ordinary bulbs, you will quickly see the benefits from energy saving light bulbs which use between a fifth and a quarter of the electricity of ordinary bulbs as their outdated alternatives.
| Ordinary bulbs | Energy saving equivalent |
| 25W | 5-7W |
| 40W | 8-9W |
| 60W | 11-14W |
| 100W | 20-23W |
