5 best energy saving lightbulbs of 2022
Switching to LED lightbulbs in your home will cost you 80% less than using traditional halogen and incandescent bulbs. Featuring innovative technology, LED bulbs run at a lower wattage, requiring less power to emit the same amount of light. This is great news for the planet and your wallet, helping you save money on your monthly bill. Plus, using less energy produces less carbon dioxide.
LED bulbs also feature instant light, unlike Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL) bulbs that were initially designed to replace traditional halogen and incandescent bulbs. CFLs require more energy because they take longer to produce a high amount of light. In addition, they have a shorter lifespan than LED, reducing their cost-effectiveness.
But with so much choice available, it can be challenging to find the perfect energy saving lightbulb for your home. That’s where we come in! We’ve sifted through all of the options to provide you with the 5 best energy saving lightbulbs – fit for your every room, fitting and shape needs.
