Energy Saving Week 25th - 31st October - The Bright Way To Save Energy

In the average home, lighting accounts for around 20% of the electricity bill and UK households currently spend around 2.3billion each year on electricity to run their lighting. If everyone in the UK switched all their remaining traditional inefficient light bulbs to energy saving light bulbs, the electricity saved would provide electricity for the lighting and appliances of 2.5 million households - that's enough for every home in Scotland!

You probably think of energy saving light bulbs as bulky and oddly shaped and maybe giving off a cold and harsh light? If so, then be prepared to think again!

There are now more good reasons than ever to make that switch to energy saving light bulbs and here are just 3 of the best:

Like the traditional bulbs, they now come in all shapes and sizes as well as screw and bayonet fittings and now even dimmable types.

They're just as bright as normal bulbs and can provide an instant warm light - no more waiting for them to brighten.

Kinder to your pocket - an energy saving light bulb can save you around 6.00 per year on electricity if used for just a couple of hours per day (multiply this by the number of bulbs you have in your house....Wow) and some can last up to 25 years so no need to replace - that makes for some considerable savings when you think how many bulbs you have in your home!

If you are already using energy efficient light bulbs, then they are probably the CFL (compact fluorescent) type which are proving to be very unpopular or worse still, hoarding the old incandescent bulbs to avoid making the switch.

We now may just have the solution for you, as Ledon Lamp GmbH (part of the Zumtobel group - world leaders in LED technology) have just launched their brand NEW range of Ledon bulbs which are now available in the UK.

Ledon bulbs - The Benefits:

Ultra energy efficient - around 85% better than incandescent

Ultra long life - with average use at least 25,000 hours (That's around 25 years to you and me!)

100% Instant light as soon as you switch on

Life is not shortened by frequent on/off

No mercury or UV

Dimmable model available

The shape of the Ledon bulb is similar to a traditional light bulb and the bayonet fitting means it is a straight swap for your old bulb (ES screw fittings also available)

Above all you'll love the quality of the light as it's a warm white and delivers the full visible light spectrum to give similar colours and tones to the old style incandescent bulbs.
