Light choice that saves money and Energy consumption

All of these light bulbs meet the new energy standards that took effect from 2012-2014. The energy-saving incandescent bulbs use about 25% less energy than traditional varieties. To save even more, choose CFLs and LEDs, which offer many choices that typically use 75% less energy.

Lighting a house using the same amount of light for less money. Upgrading inefficient incandescent light bulbs at home could save about small amount per year. New lighting standards took effect in 2012, and money-saving options such as halogen incandescent, CFL, and LED light bulbs are available today. For high-quality products with the greatest energy savings, choose bulbs that have earned the ENERGY STAR.

New light bulbs

Traditional incandescent bulbs use a lot of energy to produce light and are no longer manufactured. 90% of the energy is given off as heat. That lost energy is money we are throwing away. Newer energy-saving light bulbs provide the choices in colours and light levels you've come to expect. The new lights are also much more efficient -- so they save you money.

Lighting choice

Three of the most common energy-efficient lighting types include halogen incandescent, CFLs, and LEDs.

• HALOGEN INCANDESCENTS

Halogen incandescent has a capsule inside that holds gas around a filament to increase bulb efficiency. They are available in a wide range of shapes and colours, and they can be used with dimmers. Halogen incandescent bulbs meet the federal minimum energy efficiency standard, but there are now many more efficient options to meet your lighting needs.

• CFLS

Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) are simply curly versions of the long tube fluorescent lights. Because they consume less electricity than traditional incandescent, typical CFLs can cover up the cost in less than nine months, after that they start saving money each month. An ENERGY STAR-qualified CFL uses about one-fourth the energy and lasts ten times longer as compared to traditional incandescent bulb that puts out the same amount of light. A CFL uses about one-third the energy of a halogen incandescent.CFL bulbs are available in a range of light colours, including warm (white to yellow).

Fluorescent bulbs contain a small amount of mercury, due to which they are required to recycle at the end of their lifespan.

• LEDS

The LED (Light Emitting Diode) is a type of solid-state lighting -- semiconductors that convert electricity into light. LEDs in white light, general illumination applications are one of today's most energy-efficient and rapidly-developing technologies. ENERGY STAR-qualified LEDs use only 20%–25% of the energy and last up to 25 times longer than the traditional incandescent bulbs they replace. LEDs use 25%–30% of the energy and last 8 to 25 times longer than halogen incandescent.

LED bulbs are currently available in many products and use as replacements for traditional incandescent, reflector bulbs. LEDs are more expensive initially, but they still save money because they last a long time and have very low energy use.
