Lighting counts for a great deal of our energy usage and whether you are looking to save money or reduce the contribution your company makes to the carbon footprint; lighting is a good place to start for quite dramatic results.
Facts
Many businesses could shave up to 40% off their lighting costs.
In a typical office building, about a quarter of the energy used goes on lighting.
If you lease office space and pay for ‘tenant energy’ only, lighting can make up more than half of your
energy bills.
Energy saving lightbulbs have always been a bright idea - for your pocket and the environment. They use up to 80 per cent less electricity than a standard bulb, but produce the same amount of light. In other words, they can help you to save money and energy, all in one wise purchase. And by saving energy, you'll be helping to fight climate change too.
With the number of light fittings even in a small office building, low energy light fittings can make a huge difference. If everyone changed only 3 bulbs, that would be enough energy saved to power the street lights across the UK!
So, why not do your bit to help fight climate change? Next time you need a bulb, buy an energy saving one.
Technology's moved on a lot since energy saving lightbulbs were first invented, and so has the way they look. In fact, whatever types of bulbs you use, there are sure to be stylish energy saving equivalents. There are now more reasons than ever to buy energy saving lightbulbs!
