Light bulbs to reduce your electricity consumption.

Light bulbs to reduce your electricity consumption.

Is your electric bill stinging your eyes? Think of fluorescent bulbs and energy-saving bulbs.

These two kinds of light bulbs save electricity. They can be bought in all supermarkets and even on the internet on the ruedesampoules website.

Be careful though, be aware that energy-saving bulbs are not tolerated by dimmers.

Savings Achieved

Fluorescent bulbs use up to 2/3 less energy and last up to 10 times longer than a conventional bulb.

As for energy-saving bulbs, they use 80% less energy and last five times longer.

No need to be a light to see the savings you will make!

One last tip, free of course:remember to clean your bulbs regularly, because at the same power, a clean device can produce 40% more light than a dusty one.
