Tips
No cost/Low cost options
Always turn off the lights when you leave a room, and adjust your
curtains or blinds to let in as much light as possible during
the day.
As conventional light bulbs wear out, replace them
with low energy light bulbs. These will use around a quarter of
the electricity and last up to 12 times longer than conventional
light bulbs. Low energy light bulbs cost around £5.00
and could save you around £10.00 per year.
Fitting energy efficient lighting - as opposed to the traditional
60 or 100 watt light bulb - can have a major impact.
If every UK household installed three compact fluorescent light
bulbs, enough energy would be saved in a year to supply all street
lighting. In most homes, lighting accounts for around 10-15 per
cent of an electricity bill.
Energy saving bulbs work in the same way as fluorescent lights.
An electric current passes through gas in a tube, making the tube's
coating glow brightly.
Traditional bulbs waste a lot of their energy by turning it into
heat. Every energy saving light bulb can substantially reduce your
annual electricity bill. They also last, on average up to 12 times
longer than ordinary light bulbs
