Standard light bulbs - incandescent lamps that work by heating a tungsten filament - are the least efficient electrical devices in your property. Only about 10% of the energy used to power them is converted into light, the rest is lost as heat.
Standard light bulbs will be completely phased out over the next few years in favor of low energy bulbs including: Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL), Light Emitting Diodes (LED) and Low energy halogen bulbs.
These energy saving light bulbs uses a small fraction of the electricity of traditional bulbs and although more expensive to buy, last for thousands of hours longer and save you money from the moment you fit them.
As lighting consumes a significant amount of electricity, savings in cash & emissions can be substantial.
Recent advances in technology have resulted in significant increases in the quality and intensity of light emitted from low energy lamps and an ever increasing range exists. For both residential and business environments almost every application can now be catered for. |

The re-specification of lighting systems is one of the most cost-effective ways of reducing annual energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
