The Facts
In most homes, lighting accounts for 10-15% of the electricity bill. Electricity consumption by domestic lights and applications has nearly doubled since 1970 and is set to increase by 12% by 2010.
The Solutions
By using energy efficient light bulbs rather than the alternatives, you can cut energy wastage by over 3 quarters- that's around £7 per year on your energy bill, or £65 over the bulbs liftime.
Energy efficient light bulbs last up to 12 times longer than their inefficient counterparts.
If every UK household installed compact flourecent lightbulbs enough energy could be saved in a year to supply all street lighting inthe UK.
