Overview
Energy saving lightbulbs 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 purchase. Also, by saving energy, you'll be helping to fight climate change too.

That's the good news. Now, here's some more.
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 to light your home, there are sure to be stylish energy saving equivalents.

The phase out of inefficient light bulbs
You may have seen in the news that inefficient light bulbs are being phased out :

  • Clear bulbs must be category E or better from 01.10.09
  • 100W bulbs and above must be category C or better from 01.10.09
  • 75W bulbs and above must be category C or better from 01.10.10
  • 60W bulbs and above must be category C or better from 01.10.11
  • All clear bulbs must be category C or better from 01.10.12

See energy saving bulbs in a new light
In your mind's eye think of an energy saving bulb, is it bulky and oddly shaped? Maybe giving off a cold, harsh light? If so, be prepared to think again. There are now more good reasons than ever to buy energy saving lightbulbs. Here are some of the best.:

Advances in technology mean that energy saving lightbulbs are now available in a wide variety of fittings, shapes and sizes.

Like standard bulbs, they come in all shapes and sizes. These range from stick shaped bulbs candle shaped varieties, with small or medium screw and bayonet fittings.

The choice really is yours. Nowadays, there are even halogen and dimmable energy saving bulbs on the market.

And thanks to the invention of 'soft tone' bulbs, you can enjoy a warm glow rather than a cold light. These are just as bright as normal bulbs, but better for the environment...

Simple fact: energy saving lightbulbs use less electricity than standard bulbs to do the same job. In turn, using less energy like electricity means that our homes produce less carbon dioxide: one of the main causes of climate change.

So, why not do your bit to help fight climate change? Next time you need a bulb, buy an energy saving one from enviro-lights.

Benefits
Depending on how long your lights are in use every day, just one energy saving lightbulb could save you on average around £3 a year, and up to £6 for brighter bulbs or those used for more hours a day. And because it will last up to 10 times longer than a standard bulb, it could save you around £45 before it needs replacing.

Fit all the lights in your house with energy saving bulbs and you could save around £50 a year and £675 over the lifetime of all of the bulbs.

And before you ask, these savings take into account the higher cost of energy saving lightbulbs. These days, the average price is around £2 a bulb, so you'll usually recoup the extra outlay within a year .

Energy saving light bulbs use a fifth to a quarter of the electricity of ordinary bulbs to generate the same amount of light. So where you'd normally use a 60W bulb, you'll only need a 13-18W energy saving recommended equivalent.

Identifying your Light Bulbs

There’s a few important factors to consider when purchasing light bulbs both online and in a shop. The first thing you must identify is the fitting; the fitting is the part that connects the light bulb to it’s power – the most common example of this is in the classic light bulb which has a bayonet cap fitting and an Edison screw fitting. Of course, it’s never quite that straight forward and there’s many different types of fitting to light bulbs. The fitting information is normally on the bulb itself, on the bulb’s packaging or on the actually light fitting. When you have identified this, you need to identify the max wattage of the fitting, if a fitting states a max wattage of 60W then you can have any wattage of light up to (but not beyond) 60W. We also stock a new range of high efficiency halogen light bulbs that provide a high light output but with a lower power consumption. After these two important factors have been considered, you then have a choice; you can choose the brand, the colour, the finish, the beam angle, the style and the pack size of your light bulbs.

Searching & Finding made Easy

To help you find the correct light bulbs, we have made a brilliant quick search box on the left hand size. As stated in the previous paragraph, find out the fitting and wattage then use the quick search facility to drill right down to the light bulbs that you can purchase. If you can’t see what you’re looking for then give us a call as we have access to over 20,000 different light bulbs.

Multi Save Light Bulbs

Many of our competitors have failed to grasp the simple concept of pricing goods up in a manner that’s easy to understand which is why we have kept the pricing structures very simple. We don’t operate a confusing sliding scale where 8 light bulbs might cost you 87p each but 11 cost you 84p each. We have packed our light bulbs up into multi-packs and are sold as singles, 5 packs, 10 packs and 20 packs. All of our prices include VAT as well so the price you see is the price you pay – we don’t try and make our products look cheaper than they actually are.
