Did you know that one energy-saving light bulb could save you up to £7 a year?

The price of energy saving light bulbs has dropped dramatically in recent months. Some stores are now offering three for £1 in some cases.

What’s really great is that many stores have now extended their range of own-brand energy saving bulbs to cover spotlight, screw cap and dimmer fittings. What’s more, bulbs for other types of light fitting have dropped in price considerably.

Energy saving light bulbs use 80% less electric than standard light bulbs which means you will have lower bills and be more environmentally friendly.

Plus, you will find that energy efficient bulbs last around 10 times longer than standard bulbs and they produce the same amount of light as a standard bulb.

When buying energy savings light bulbs, look for the ‘Energy Saving Recommended’ logo so that you know the bulb has met stringent energy efficiency criteria as laid out by the Energy Saving Trust. This is especially important if you choose to buy the cheaper energy saving light bulbs.
