Different types of light bulbs
Some types of light bulbs are more energy efficient than others, however it's not a simple case of only using one type of light bulb and one type of lighting and expecting different things.

One light bulb may be ideal for working in your kitchen, but you want a different light bulb and light fitting to create a different mood for your living spaces. You’d also want your bedside lamp to emit a different light and mood to the one you use over your dining table.

Different light bulbs and their fittings are an important consideration for your home or business.

Lighting room-by-room
Now you are aware that different parts of your home require different lighting, fortunately, there is an energy efficient replacement for almost every light bulb out there – from bedside lamps, outdoor lights and ceiling downlights right through to candle light bulbs in chandeliers.

Light bulbs for fittings and lamps
There are many different types of light fittings, most of which have been designed to use the traditional incandescent light bulb. However now it's easy to use new energy efficient light bulbs to replace them - and the number of new light fittings designed around energy efficient bulbs and lamps is growing by the day.

Replace your old light bulbs with new, energy efficient ones
The energy efficient light bulbs available on the market today cost far less to run than old-style, standard incandescent light bulbs and halogen bulbs while delivering equal or improved light output. What's more, there is a wide variety to choose from.

Finding the right light is not a simple case of looking at the packaging for its energy savings. It pays to think about which light bulbs fit which light fittings, and how best to light your home. Whatever you decide on, be sure to buy the brands you trust for best performance.
