Do you want to save 90% on the cost of lighting your home or business? Low energy lighting technology has come a long way in the last year or so, and gone are the days of bulbs taking ages to light up and the light quality being poor and harsh. Most modern bulbs are indistinguishable from their inefficient tungsten or halogen counterparts and in many instances, the light quality is better.
If you want to save money, then UK-based Litebulbs.co.uk (www.litebulbs.co.uk) is the place to visit. They are the leading specialist online retailer of energy saving bulbs and specialise in high quality LED GU10, LED MR16 and compact fluorescent bulbs from manufacturers such as Megaman, Osram, Philips and the world’s leading LED bulb manufacturer, EXERGI. Run by people who really know their stuff and who are happy to help, the site is easy to use and tells you everything you need to know – even how much you can save for each particular bulb. They will ship virtually anywhere in Europe and you can pay by credit card or PayPal.
They even stock other energy saving products, such as Green-I dimmer switches, which have taken the UK by storm, and Efergy energy meters, which can tell you exactly how much energy you are using and how much it is costing you.
LED Lighting
LED lighting technology is now with us, and by changing inefficient halogen spotlights, such as the ones found in downlighters and track lighting, for LED equivalents will save you a fortune on lighting. For example (and make sure you’re sitting down when you’re reading this), by changing five 35W halogen bulbs for the equivalent EXERGI LED bulbs, you can save a staggering £1,475 on electricity over the lifetime of the bulb. Not only will you save money on energy but because EXERGI LED bulbs have a lifetime of 50,000 (hours compared to 1,000 for halogens), you only need one LED bulb for every 50 halogens you would normally buy. This could save you £550, and that’s just for 5 bulbs. Imagine the savings if you had a whole house full of them!
You can buy EXERGI LED GU10 and EXERGI LED MR16 bulbs from Litebulbs.co.uk, and with such massive savings and a favourable exchange rate, you’d be mad not to. Alternatively, take a look at the EXERGI website and their easy-to-use energy saving calculator to find out exactly how much you could save.
CFL Lighting
Litebulbs also sell a wide range of compact fluorescent bulbs from MEM and Megaman. Although they are not quite as efficient as EXERGI LED light bulbs, they will still save you a significant amount of money and ideal if you have screw thread or bayonet light fittings
What are you waiting for? For orders into Europe, delivery from Litebulbs.co.uk is cheap and for orders over £300 delivery is free – ideal if there are two or three of you who would like to start saving electricity, and especially cheap given the sterling’s exchange rate at the minute.
