Incandescent globes are outdated, inefficient energy-hungry monsters. They’re the worst of the worst. They run extremely hot because, in order to generate light, the elements need to heat up. 95% of the energy consumption in these globes is spent on heating the elements.
If you upgrade your incandescent globes to LED (screw or bayonet fittings) you will reduce your lighting energy consumption by 95%. It sounds crazy, but it’s true. A typical incandescent globes uses 50w and an LED alternative needs only 5w! All of the energy that’s used by the newer LED technology goes into lighting the elements, no heat required. So, they run cooler, they last years longer and they don’t waste huge amounts of energy.
Imagine replacing all of the lights in your home (for FREE) and you could keep the lights on all day, every day, and still use less energy than lighting 1 room in your house for half of the day.
Have we convinced you to upgrade for FREE to LEDs yet?
