REDUCE YOUR ELECTRICITY BILLS THE EASY WAY.
New Research shows that we can save £1 billion and 3.9 million tonnes of CO2 (carbon dioxide) a year by switching to energy saving light bulbs.
Lighting accounts for 10-15 per cent of our electricity bills which means there are substantial savings to be made so, why line the pockets of the electricity companies, when you can line your own by using energy saving light bulbs. ENERGY SAVING LIGHT BULBS have always been a bright idea - and not just for your pocket but the environment too.
100 Watt Bulbs, what's the truth?
There has been great deal speculation in the media during the past few months concerning the demise of the much loved 100 watt light bulb. What is the real story, what light bulbs will be turned off, forever, and what can you use as a replacement?
There is a voluntary agreement between the UK Government and major retail chains to implement a ban on the sale of the 100 watt light bulb and whilst we are still able to sell them, it won’t be too long before we will not be able to maintain a supply.
The situation is that Sales of all pearl or frosted bulbs will be banned from September 2009 regardless of wattage however, for the clear type the ban will be introduced over a stepped period dependent upon wattage. The thinking behind this is that anyone currently using pearl should be using an energy saver anyway!
September 2009: All frosted (pearl) Filament-Lamps and clear Filament-Lamps = / > 100W September 2010: clear Filament-Lamps > 75W September 2011: clear Filament-Lamps > 60W September 2012: clear Filament-Lamps > 25W September 2016: only Filament-Lamps with Energy Efficiency Class A and B
Special Lamps for use in fridges or ovens are exempted. All Lamps for Low-Voltage use and designs which are not intended for General-Lighting use are exempted as well.
This ban only covers normal light bulbs i.e. ones that look like light bulbs. It does not cover reflectors, candle shapes or anything that isn't a normal light bulb!
A few years ago buying a light bulb was a very easy process. One simply had the choice of 40, 60, 100 watt, with Edison screw or bayonet cap in a pearl or clear finish. Now though the choice is far greater and much more complex.
Some people complain that energy savers are not bright enough, this is simply because they are not buying a high enough wattage. The most readily available light bulb in supermarkets is the 11 watt energy saver and this will only produce the same light output as a 60 watt equivalent. Then, of course, there is the colour of light that is produced. Some people complain that the bulbs are too blue, cold and horrible! Again, they are buying the wrong product!
When choosing energy saving light bulbs it is important to understand the wattage and colour temperature of the bulb as this will control the colour of light output.
Don’t forget, there is a 5% discount for a purchase of 6 or more energy saving products from our range of light bulbs and, free delivery on orders valued at £30 or more.

Lighting facts
Fitting energy saving light bulbs - as opposed to the traditional 60 or 100 watt light bulb - can have a major impact on helping you cut your electricity bill.
If every UK household installed three energy saving light bulbs, enough electricity would be saved in a year to supply all street lighting. Even replacing an old boiler can save more than a fifth of the average household fuel bill.
In most homes, lighting accounts for around 20 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 light bulbs waste a lot of their energy by turning it into heat. Each energy saving light bulb can substantially reduce your annual electricity bill. Energy saving light bulbs also last, on average up to 12 times longer than ordinary light bulbs

Answer: (E) All of the above.
Shedding Light on Your energy saving light bulb choices
Picking a light bulb isn't exactly rocket science.
You want it to provide the amount of light you need, to last a long time -- particularly if it's for a hard-to-reach place -- and not to "break the bank." You want your light bulbs to be energy saving too. The fact is, new energy saving light bulbs can save money on your electric bill, while saving energy, too.
What's the catch? Highly efficient compact fluorescent bulbs cost more than regular incandescent bulbs. However, their efficient use of electricity and long operating life can offset the initial pinch of the purchase price.
Among your options are:
Regular incandescent light bulbs.
These light bulbs, which provide most home lighting, are used in products from nightlights to floodlights. The most common incandescent is a pear-shaped bulb with a medium-sized bayonet base. Incandescent light bulbs use electricity to heat a filament until it glows white hot, producing light. About 90 percent of the electricity used by incandescent light bulbs is lost as heat. These bulbs typically burn for 750 to 1,000 hours -- or about three hours a day for a year.
Incandescent spotlights and floodlights.
The reflective coating on these bulbs helps direct and focus the light. Commonly known as spotlights or floodlights, these light bulbs often are used in recessed ceiling fixtures or outdoors. They burn for about 2,000 hours.
Halogen bulbs.
Sometimes referred to as "tungsten-halogen filament incandescent light bulbs," these light bulbs contain a small capsule filled with halogen gas, which emits a bright white light. Halogen bulbs produce more light, use less energy and last longer than standard incandescent bulbs of the same wattage, but they cost more. They last from 2,000 to 3,000 hours -- about two to three years.
General service fluorescent tubes.
These bulbs are more energy efficient than incandescent light bulbs because they don't produce heat. They're the thin, long tubes often used in kitchens for under-cabinet lighting, and in garages, workshops and basements. The tubes can last from 10,000 to 20,000 hours -- 10 to 20 times longer than incandescent light bulbs.
Compact fluorescent bulbs.
These are more commonly known as energy saving light bulbs provide as much light as regular incandescent light bulbs while using just one-fourth the energy. For example, a 15-watt energy saving bulb yields the same amount of light as a 60-watt incandescent bulb. Compact flourescent Lamp last about 10,000 hours -- 10 times longer than incandescent light bulbs.
Replacement Value
Energy saving light bulbs may cost you more initially, but they can save you money in the long run by drastically cutting your elecricity bill.
The benefits of compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) are clear: lower operating costs, longer operating life and more efficient use of energy.
Energy Saving Lightbulbs
Energy Saving light bulbs are ideal for landings, hallways and stairs – places where you leave lights on for longer but which aren’t easily accessible when you want to change a bulb. By using considerably less energy and lasting up to 15 times longer than conventional bulbs they’re good for the environment and when you get them discounted from us they’re good for your pocket too!!
Did you know? If every household in the UK fitted just one energy saving light bulb, enough electricity would be saved to power lighting in 3 million homes for a year!
How Many Light bulbs Does It Take?
The advantages of an energy saving lightbulb? A light bulb's a light bulb, right? Wrong. Although they may look simple things, today's light bulbs contain complex, ever-evolving technology. dimmable energy saving light bulbs are particularly clever. They're able to produce light using a fraction of the electricity usually needed - energy bills can be cut by up to £14 a year per light bulb. They also help the environment by demanding less energy from the power stations.
Like fluorescent strip lights they produce light by passing an electric current through gas in a tube, making the tube's coating glow brightly. Standard (filament) light bulbs, on the other hand, turn most of the electricity into heat rather than light and are therefore less efficient
The British public walks the equivalent distance to change light bulbs every year as they would making two trips to the moon and back. Energy saving light bulbs last up to 12 times longer, so they don't need to be changed as often - a help to the soles of your shoes and your carpet too...
Bright ideas In most homes, lighting accounts for around 10 - 15 per cent of the electricity bill. So it's worth your while switching off when you leave the room. We can cut wastage and bills by turning off any lights - even fluorescent strip bulbs.
The best place for energy saving light bulbs? Take a look around your home. Where do you have your lights on most often and for the longest period? If you have outdoor security lights that are on for several hours at a time, these could be good candidates. Other high-usage areas could be hallways, landings and childrens' bedrooms. In short, there is such a wide choice of energy saving light bulbs that now, there is really no excuse for not having them
Note: Not all energy saving light bulbs will work with electronic sensors, dimmers and timers.
Shapes and Sizes You may be surprised to hear you can now pick up energy saving light bulbs in a variety of shapes and sizes - as well as bayonet and screw fittings.
You can buy energy saving versions of traditional looking light bulbs. There are 'stick' type fluorescent light bulbs that radiate light in all directions equally, so are perfect for the middle of rooms. Or even 'flat' light bulbs, for wall fittings. Energy saving versions of light fittings can also be bought. In some cases - such as outdoor lamps - these can contribute to substantial savings on bills as they only allow the use of lower wattage light bulbs.
How bright the light?Because they use just a quarter of the energy of traditional light bulbs to create an equivalent amount of light, energy-saving light bulbs come in much lower wattages.
Have a look at the table below to get an idea of what you should be looking for. It's worth bearing in mind though that, because energy saving bulbs radiate light differently to ordinary bulbs, you might consider choosing the next highest wattage to achieve the same illumination.
Ordinary light bulbs Energy saving bulb equivalent
25W 6W 40W 8-11W 60W 13-18W 100W 20-25W
Costs and Savings Because of their use of modern technology, energy efficient light bulbs are more expensive than their energy-wasting counterparts. But remember they will reduce your overall energy costs over time. An energy efficient bulb - costing from around £2 will save you up to £14 on your annual electricity bill.
You'll be paying off the original cost in just six months and savings thereafter will go straight into your pocket.
Check out the savings you can make per bulb:
Cost of energy saving bulb £5 (approx) Cost of regular bulb 50p (approx) Energy saving bulb savings (over regular bulbs) £14 per year £68 over a typical lifetime (including cost of bulb) Costs recovered 6 months
All the information is based on:
* replacing a 100W bulb with a 20W energy saving one * using it for 1,700 hours per year * a 12,000 hour lifetime * an electricity cost of 7p/kWh
