Energy Saving Bulbs to
Save Money and Energy
By switching to energy saving bulbs technology from traditional incandescent type lamps, you can save energy and save money on your energy bills. Using today’s new energy saving bulbs technologies: Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs), and Light Emitting Diode Lamps (LED or L.E.D.), you can save as much as 80% on the energy you use to light your home -- and less energy used is less money out of your pocket plus it reduces the resources needed to create that power.
Of the two, the compact fluorescent is the more cost effective -- today. However, LED lamps are getting less expensive every day. The best strategy to use today is to change the bulbs you use most frequently to compact fluorescent energy saving bulbs. You save more than 75% on the cost of running your lights right away. Then, as the cost of LED energy saving bulbs comes down, convert more and more to that technology. Every time you replace incandescent bulbs with energy saving bulbs, you immediately start saving money on your energy bills.
Remember that CFL bulbs contain a small amount of mercury (much less than traditional fluorescent tubes) and must be disposed of properly -- your local recycling center will have information available on how to do this correctly. In fact, many home improvement stores now have drop off points for old, worn out CFL bulbs to make it easy for you to dispose of them safely.
