In the average household, lights use about 20% of the electricity. Therefore, if there is anything that will help to reduce the power consumption, you will be saving money as your electricity bill will be a lot less than before. It will also cut down slightly on pollution, so if everybody would do this with their lighting, the world might be less polluted. But don’t worry; there is an easier way for you to save - instead of using candles at night and a fire instead of the microwave and oven, you could use energy saving light bulbs wherever possible.

Energy saving light bulbs is much more beneficial to use because they do not need the help of heat in order to produce lights. These bulbs are also better to use because they are florescent, which means it will light up more of the room than an ordinary light bulb would. Lighting is just as important as water to any household, without it there can be a whole lot of problems. Sometimes we don’t realize just how much we rely on the lights and electricity in our homes. Only when you have no electricity do you realize how many things you cannot do.

If you decide to use these bulbs, your energy saving can be up to 66% of your electricity. This means that your lights bill should be at least half the price it normally is. Obviously you will have to take into account all the appliances you use that work on electricity, but on the lighting part of the bill, you will save tremendously. Another way you are saving is when you don’t need to change bulbs as often. Energy saving light bulbs last a lot longer than ordinary bulbs, so it is worth it, even if they do cost more to begin with.
