House & Home / Energy Saving Lightbulbs

CFL (compact fluorescent lights) are better for the environment than traditional incandescent bulbs. While they may be more expensive than traditional bulbs they are cheaper in the long run, so lighter on your pocket. They also emit less carbon, making them more environmentally friendly. It is estimated that in the average home lighting accounts for 15% of the total electricity bill, so reducing the amount of electricity you use on lighting is going to save you money.

CFL bulbs are the most environmentally friendly option when it comes to energy consumption. On average a CFL produces 55-60 lumen per watt. As they shine five times brighter than conventional bulbs, it means they use less energy to achieve the same brightness.
