Got A Light? Save Energy!
By Helen Porter
In most homes, lighting accounts for around 10-15 per cent of an electricity bill. Energy Saving Recommended 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. Replacing just one of your traditional bulbs to an energy saving bulb can reduce your lighting costs by up to £100 over the lifetime of the bulb thats £9 a year which more than covers the cost of the bulb.
