Energy Saving Lighting Myths

|
Energy saving lights are too big and bulky to really be an option. |
| Energy saving lightbulbs are much more expensive. |
|
The prices of energy saving light bulbs have come down in recent times - it is now possible to buy a bulb from as little as £1.45 in our energy saving lamps section. In addition, because they use less energy they will lower electricity bills, in fact a saving of up to £7 per year per bulb is possible. |
| Energy saving light bulbs take a long time to turn on. |
| There have also been improvements in technology allowing 'instant start up' (as opposed to the traditional warm up period associated with low-energy bulbs), and warmer tones from the light itself which avoid the harsh white light traditionally associated with these bulbs. |
| The wattages of energy saving bulbs are lower, does that mean the light is not as bright and which one will I need? |
| Energy saving light bulbs use up to four times less electricity to generate the same amount of light. So where you'd normally use a 60W bulb, you'll only need a 13-18W energy saving recommended equivalent. |
