Energy Efficient Lighting Pays For Itself In Less Than A Year
The Way Of The 21st Century
Energy efficient lighting can make a big contribution to reducing your home or business energy costs. It's easy - energy efficient lighting can be achieved simply by switching to energy saving light bulbs, like compact fluorescent or LED lighting. Or by using solar lighting in your garden.
Over the life of a typical light fixture the greatest expense incurred by far is not the cost of bulb replacement or even the initial cost of the fixture - it's the electricity consumed.
While the initital cost of buying a compact fluorescent light bulb or a LED light bulb will be higher than for the old incandescent light bulb, the energy saving you achieve with energy efficient lighting will more than compensate.
The extra cost of moving to energy efficient lighting throughout your home can be recouped in less than one year.
Over a five year period, energy efficient lighting is likely to save you 80% of what you previously spent to power your lights - so if you're currently paying $100 a year just to light up your home, energy efficient lighting will slash your bill right down to around just $20.
Then there's the benefit to the planet. It's estimated that lighting accounts for some 9% of all greenhouse gas emissions. Switching to energy efficient lighting will make a huge dent in these unwanted emissions and a big contribution to cleaning up our world.
Switching to energy efficient lighting is one of the cheapest and simplest ways to reduce your energy costs and improve the planet. The sooner you replace your old light bulbs with energy efficient lighting the sooner the benefits will flow.
