Lavish decorations go hand in hand with this festive time of year, Christmas and New Year see a huge selection of bright and jolly lights being adorned throughout the insides and outsides of our houses. Many see the need for such decorations as a necessity this Christmas time, but unfortunately with such decorations also come extremely high electricity bills. This is the last thing that anyone needs this time of year, when so much money is already being spent on presents, food and drink. Thankfully there are simple ways that everyone can save money off their electricity bill this festive time of year. BLT Direct stocks a wide range of light bulbs and Christmas lights that can provide great savings over the entire festive period and all year round.
The need to ensure that our electricity bills are as low as possible is even more paramount considering the tough economic times that we currently find ourselves in. If not this alone was not enough to convince of the merits of a low electricity bill, then the current state of the environment should be. In a climate where we all know that we should be doing something to help reduce our carbon footprint or that of our household, reducing the energy output that such seasonal lights may induce is a great way to get started.
BLT has a number of fantastic ways to reduce both these outputs, they stock a fantastic range of both energy saving lightbulbs and LED lightbulbs. This Christmas, coloured energy saving light bulbs are the perfect answer, saving up to 80% on traditional halogen light bulbs, these lightbulbs not only look great but are also great for the bank balance. LED candle light bulbs are another brilliant choice for this festive time of year, available in a variety of different seasonal colours, with an estimated lifetime of 25 years, and savings up to 90% on traditional running costs, they really are a no brainer for any seasonal display.

GU10 a no brainer
We are all aware these days of our effect on, and our responsibility towards the environment. There are now many solutions on the market that help us reduce our carbon footprint, particularly in comparison to traditional consumer products. However individuals can sometimes be hard to persuade in making the leap, as greener products can also sometimes be more ineffective products.
However this is far from the case with the GU10 range of energy saving light bulbs. A direct replacement for high energy consuming halogen bulbs, the GU10 displays the perfect marriage of performance and efficiency. In fact, the GU10 light bulb is an extremely environmentally friendly product, providing a simple, easy but effective method of reducing your electricity usage, helping the environment, but also you, by cutting down on bills.
It’s the GU10 light bulbs longevity that is perhaps most impressive, with the ability to last for 14 years with an average 10 hours a day usage. The GU10 is also extremely versatile, fitting all existing GU10 light fittings with retractable backs.
The workings behind the GU10 light bulbs include modern lamp tube technology. This features a patented cooling-tube, ensuring that the high luminosity is extremely efficient and maintained throughout the bulb’s life.
GU10’s are also extremely versatile and can be used in most spaces, such as kitchens, bathrooms, reception areas, lounges, offices, shop displays, conference rooms, corridors, restaurants and hotels. Using the GU10 in all your appropriate fittings can provide you with great savings in terms of your financial outlay and your carbon footprint.
GU10 light bulbs come in four different colours, Warm White, White, Cool White and Daylight from BLT Direct, allowing you to provide the exact look and lighting tone that you require. They are also available in a choice of wattages; 7w, 9w, 11w and 14 watt .
The GU10 range is one of the few products to retain such high performance whilst heavily reducing usage, in some cases up to 80%. If you would like to view the GU10 range and other light bulbs, lamps and tubes currently available from BLT Direct, visit http://www.bltdirect.com/index.php

Now Is the Time to Plan Your Christmas Lights
We might not like to accept it but it is that time of year when the summer ends and the nights start getting a bit darker a bit earlier. It's nice to have something to look forward to at this time of year and of course this is what Christmas does for us. The decorations and the whole festival of Christmas is something that simply never loses its appeal, and lots of colourful Christmas lights are undoubtedly intrinsic to that enjoyment.
Many of the UK's cities are busy getting ready for their Christmas decoration unveilings, and several have already announced the celebrities they've booked to switch the lights on only a few weeks from now. Unlike the Blackpool Illuminations, your Christmas lights might not be getting switched on by Robbie Williams, but that doesn't mean they can't be really special!
Getting organised early on for Christmas is something that really does pay off, removing a lot of the stress often associated with festive preparations and allowing you to relax and enjoy yourself at such a special time of year. One of the key first steps is to plan the perfect selection of Christmas lighting as the lights chosen for the tree and to decorate outside define the ambience and mood of the room and home. Energy saving light bulbs specialist BLT Direct stock a fantastic range of Christmas lights, all of which are designed to be kind to the environment.
BLT Direct’s range of indoor and outdoor Christmas lights are attractive, effective and energy efficient, and sure to provide a welcome addition to the interior or exterior of any home or office. Whether you're aiming for classic, traditional, colourful, bright, child friendly or elegant, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the selection on offer.
The Icicle Christmas lights are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Remote controlled they offer a choice of eight pulsating settings and one static setting. Lit by LED light bulbs, the Icicle Christmas lights benefit from the long life features of low energy bulbs but have the brightness and vibrancy often associated with the traditional incandescent bulb.
Christmas fairy lights are undoubtedly top of any festive lighting list; choose from two lengths and various colour combinations. BLT Direct’s fairy lights also make use of LED technology. Their long-life bulbs mean they can be stored away after Christmas and re-used next year or, dusted off for a special occasion such as a wedding or party at any time.
As well as complementing your home's interior style, BLT Direct understand the need to be aware of the energy implications of any lighting options you choose. For this reason the company have taken great steps to provide lighting that pays special attention to efficiency, and give you the information you need to make a responsible choice.

The easy way to switch to greener lighting
There is a growing environmental responsibility on all our shoulders these days, from the individual person to businesses of all sizes and even national governments. Innovations such as solar panels and wind turbines are becoming common sights, reflecting a move to a greener society. The design of light bulbs has also changed in recent years, enabling us to install those that use less energy quickly and easily in the home. As well as being kinder to the environment, energy-saving light bulbs can also prove more economical to the consumer, who can save small fortune over the life time of the bulb.
Energy saving lightbulb specialist BLT Direct realise that knowing which bulb to use may sometimes seem a daunting prospect, but it really is just a case of reading the relevant information on the packaging. With the clear, informative instructions on the box, you can be sure you’re purchasing the appropriate products.
When replacing conventional bulbs with newer energy saving light bulbs such as the GU10, there is clear information on the packaging which tells the consumer which size they need to purchase. This makes the changeover a simple process, ensuring the appropriate coverage of light is maintained.
GU10 energy saving light bulbs have an average life span of 2000 hours, so can be relied upon to give efficient, cheaper lighting for longer. These halogen bulbs are ideal for desk lamps and where a good coverage of light is needed in a small space, such as in a workshop. Fitting is easy, involving a short twist into the socket.
Making the change to energy saving LED lightbulbs couldn’t be simpler, and will enable you to reduce your carbon footprint in no time. To find out how to change over safely, all you have to do is read the instructions provided on the box.
BLT Direct supply all the major names in commercial and domestic lighting, ensuring the consumer has a comprehensive choice for all types of bulb. Osram, Philips, Sylvamia, Pro Lite, GE and Impact are just a small selection of those that are available, and all at surprisingly low prices.
The fittings for energy saving lightbulbs are the same as for standard bulbs, so whether you’re replacing one with a bayonet or an Edison screw, you can do so with ease. All you need to do is read the packaging to decide which size bulb needs to be used. It’s remarkably simple, and will help the planet at the same time.

Are energy efficient light bulbs just as good as incandescent alternatives?
We all know we’re going to have to learn to do things in a more energy efficient way in the future. However, many of us feel that when it comes to light bulbs that the energy efficient varieties simply don’t give us the same quality of light as their older alternatives. Recent studies have shown that this is actually not true, and that people involved in tests could not actually tell the difference between the energy efficient bulbs and their traditional counterparts.
Choice and Perception
Sometimes when we’re told we have to do something we can have a tendency to become convinced that it has undesirable features that are not actually there. Perhaps this is what’s happened with the energy saving light bulbs. As the traditional varieties became less available, many of us started to feel like our choice (and freedoms) were being restricted, in spite of the fact that we know these energy saving measures are essential if we’re going to sustain our planet and resources for future generations. However, it looks as though the apparent disadvantages to using energy efficient bulbs may have had little basis in fact.
A study in which people were shown two different rooms, one lit by traditional light bulbs and one by new energy efficient ones, found that most of the people could not tell which was which, even where they believed prior to the experiment that they would be able to. Obviously most energy saving light bulbs are shaped differently to the older alternatives, but when used within a covered fitting as in many light fittings, the resulting light appeared no different to most of the people taking part in the study. In addition, around half of those studied preferred the light that the energy efficient bulb created, and about a fifth had no preference either way.
Energy Saving Light Bulb Savings
As well as being good news for our environment, this should come as an excellent development for your pocket too. The amount of money saved by an average household that a shift to energy efficient lighting causes can be seriously substantial. The bulbs achieve these effects in a number of ways: they last longer and use less power, in turn causing a reduction in the pollution effects of our power usage.
Current selection
At BLT Direct, you can choose from a fantastic selection of energy saving light bulbs, as well as using the on site calculator to work out what saving you can expect to enjoy. The site is packed with information regarding these light bulbs to help you make an informed choice when it comes to your lighting options, and you can see what your saving will look like over extended periods of time, as well as initially.
The range of energy saving light bulbs is increasing all the time as more and more people embrace the shift over to this way of thinking. A selection of shapes, sizes and colours are currently on offer from BLT Direct at competitive prices, so you can find a choice that complements your principles as well as your interior decor and preferences.

Ensure Christmas Light Safety This Season with BLT Direct
The excitement surrounding the Christmas holidays mounts up when it’s time to purchase the tree, fairy lights and outdoor Christmas lights to decorate the home. Light bulb and projector lamp experts BLT Direct have a selection of Christmas lights that not only light up your home, but don’t bite too far into the Christmas budget.
Safety is important, and BLT Direct explains how Christmas lights can still be fun and decorative whilst being safe. Electricity expert Steven Ellwood, director of BLT Direct stresses the importance of using tested and approved Christmas lights, “legitimate Christmas lights should carry the certified lab logo, and all the LED Christmas lights from BLT Direct are lab approved and carry the correct labelling If something should go wrong, a certified manufacturer will be able to fix any Christmas light issues without endangering anyone who works with and uses fairy lights”.
Light bulbs don’t last forever, and should a bulb blow within a stream of Christmas lights, they should be replaced immediately with a bulb of the same wattage before the lights are used again. Attempting to install a new fairy light bulb whilst they are in use is very dangerous and can have devastating effects, if several light bulbs are faulty within a line of Christmas lights, it is recommended to purchase new fairy lights as it could be a connection fault. “Consumers should never use fairy lights that may have connection problems, if you suspect a connection problem with any stream of fairy lights, simply throw them away, do not attempt to fix them yourself.”
Those decorating both inside and outside the house this year should also make sure that the correct type of Christmas lights are used. Christmas light packaging should clearly state whether they are for indoor or outdoor use, the outdoor Christmas lights from BLT Direct are tougher than indoor lights, and come with a longer electrical cord for convenience.
BLT Direct also stocks the innovative solar powered Christmas lights. The LED twinkle lights are controlled via a remote- making the use of these particular fair lights much safer. “The innovative solar power system makes these the greener Christmas lights” explains Steven “During the Christmas period, electricity bills can soar and many households waste energy by not turning their Christmas lights off, the solar solution offers an energy saving alternative and a fantastic price without cutting any safety corners!”.
The Christmas lights from BLT Direct can be viewed in the online catalogue at http://www.bltdirect.com/, customers can also direct Christmas lights queries and questions to the team via customer services on 01473 559 501.

Christmas Lights; A History with BLT Direct
BLT Direct is one of the UK’s leading retailers in decorative, sparkling Christmas lights, but have you ever wondered how the idea of fairy lights become a long standing holiday tradition? Way back in 1880 when Thomas Edison was fiddling with wires to create light bulbs, the stranded fairy lights were chosen to decorate the outside of his laboratory.
Initially, candles were used as decoration upon the traditional Christmas tree and fireplace, over one hundred years later however Christmas lights are strewn across lawns and roofs with many residential areas competing over the finest and most vibrant display of electricity. Whilst candles were the source of delicate and soft illumination, they lack the practicality that comes with the innovative light bulb. Thomas Edison’s partner Edward Johnson was the first to create a string of Christmas tree lights in 1882, hand wiring 80 coloured light bulbs; Johnson literally electrified the Christmas tree!
It wasn’t until 1903 however that Christmas lights became a family tradition, before the turn of the century electricity was reserved for only the wealthy and after 1903 pre-assembled kits were sold to everyone to decorate their homes in time for the holidays. It took another 17 years for the multi-coloured strings of light bulbs to become a fully commercial business; Albert Sadacca was a founder of (National Outfit Manufacturers Association) NOMA Electric Co. Who were pioneers in the Christmas lights market up until the 1960s.
Fifty years later, every company, business and service cashes in on Christmas and Christmas lights. BLT Direct not only offers an ample selection of Christmas lights and fairy lights in their online catalogue, the established light bulb experts provide some of the most competitive prices on the market. Whether they are to decorate the tree, the roof or even the car, BLT Direct has the Christmas lights for you.

“Stay Safe Online,” Say BLT Direct
Shopping online is a quick and easy way to get your goods fast and delivered directly to your doorstep. Leading online lighting experts, BLT Direct, offer some handy hints and tips to stay safe when buying online and why you can rest assured when shopping with them.
The checkout process and customer account centre on the firm’s website is protected by 128bit SSL encryption, and this is signified by a padlock in the corner of your web browser. Encryption is a process whereby data is converted to a type of format called a cipher text, which makes it unreadable to unauthorised users.

Whether you are online for five minutes or five hours, a firewall and antivirus software will ensure your computer and personal details are kept safe from hackers and viruses. The firm also recommends that your computer is kept up to date with any latest updates and patches available from your firewall manufacturer.

Use More Energy Saving Light Bulbs Say BLT Direct
With so much emphasis being placed on saving energy, more and more households are being encouraged to use energy saving light bulbs around the home. However, recent figures suggest that the average household has used just half the energy saving bulbs they were supplied with.
As part of the government’s £3bn energy efficiency scheme, more than 42 million energy savers were sent out before Christmas, averaging ten per household. The average used, were around five.
Steven Ellwood, the Managing Director of BLT Direct, the leading energy saving light bulb suppliers, said: “It is worrying that people are not making the best use of the resources they are being provided with.
“We really need to start looking after our planet more and if energy saving bulbs help even a small way then we should all be making use of them, especially when they are being provided for free.”
The light bulb specialists stock a huge range of energy saving bulbs, including the Energy Saving Mini Spiral bulb, costing £4.91 including VAT for a nine watt bulb. The bulb comes in five, seven, nine, 11, 15, 18 and 20 watts, and can be used in lounges, hallways, bedrooms, wall lights and chandeliers. They also come in various colour temperatures and reduce heat output by 70 per cent, reduce UV output by 90 per cent and could save you a whopping 80 per cent in running costs. They have a running time of 8,000 hours.
Another example from their collection of energy saving bulbs is the Energy Saving My Planet Light Bulb. This little bundle of seven watt energy has an average life of a whopping 12,000 to 15,000 hours and can save you up to 80 per cent in running costs and costs just £2.93 including VAT.
In addition to this, they also do Energy Saving Halogen Replacement Bulbs, with prices starting from £10.90 including VAT for a 21 watt 118mm cool white bulb.

Light bulb temperatures helping SAD sufferers
As energy efficient light bulbs continue to help us save the planet day by day; choosing light fittings with specific colour temperatures can also help those who suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
What is Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)? SAD is a type of winter-based depression that affects around seven per cent of the UK severely and a further seventeen per cent mildly. It is caused by a chemical imbalance due to the shorter and darker days that the winter seasons bring. Symptoms of SAD can include depression, lethargy, weight gain and an increase in the amount of time spent sleeping.
How do specific lamps help? By choosing a light bulb that burns high up the colour scale; six thousand kelvins or over (kelvins are the unit in which colour is measured), the light fittings will burn similar to the colours of summer and spring daylight. The illusion will help ease the symptoms for sufferers during the darker months.
BLT Direct offer fluorescent tubes, energy saving light bulbs and even halogen light bulbs in a range of colours. Steven Ellwood, spokesperson for BLT Direct says “The most effective light fitting for SAD sufferers would be the fluorescent tube lighting we offer clients; as these types of fittings light larger rooms such as kitchens and garages, which won’t often be lit by other sources or have smaller windows”
To browse the extensive range, or for advice on which light fittings to choose; visit the BLT Direct website on www.bltdirect.com or telephone customer services on 01473 559 501

Transform your home lighting
If you’re a landlord or tenant about to move into a new property, the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) will likely be looming large. Now mandatory for all properties being bought or leased, the certificate rates the home’s energy efficiency levels on a sliding scale from A (very efficient) to G (very inefficient). A low rating can affect the home’s resale value and the rates commanded from tenants.
In order to make a rental property or house bought specifically for leasing further down the line as attractive as possible, there is one simple action that can contribute towards a more efficient rating – install energy efficient lightbulbs throughout the house. Energy efficient lighting can be used in every part of the home and with the huge range and expert advice available from the energy saving lighting experts BLT Direct, swapping out energy hungry incandescent bulbs for eco-friendly counterparts like the GU10 is the work of minutes.
Halogen GU10 bulbs are perfect for the kitchen and can be used to transform the cooking and food preparation areas in to the hub of the home. Combining colours and styles can personalise the lighting design – try fluorescent tubes for the main lights and then discreet under cupboard light bulbs for a more relaxing hue at meal times. Used as downlighters, a GU10 light bulb in a kitchen setting can last anything from 2000 to 5000 hours.
For the bathroom, replace harsh, dated overhead lights with any one of the range of IP65 rated bathroom downlighters, available in brass, white, chrome and brushed chrome. Available in low voltage and GU10 versions, the lights add a stylish touch and can transform the bathroom into a soothing sanctuary at the end of a busy day.
Energy saving light bulbs consume less power, emit less pollution and make less of an impact on the electricity bill. With a longer lamp life they also need replacing less, which makes them a much more economical choice all round.

Prestigious office developments switch on to LED lighting
A slew of energy-efficient alternatives to traditional incandescent bulbs are enjoying a surge in popularity as the UK works to reduce its carbon footprint and meet EU guidelines. One of the early favourites in the race to become more energy efficient is the LED lighting.
The first all-LED lit office building in the UK takes the form of London’s prestigious Tower 42. Philips is the team behind the scenes responsible for revamping the entire building with LED lighting at Tower 42, otherwise famed as the tallest building in London.
Occupants of the prestigious offices will be saving an impressive 40 percent on energy with the utilisation of the latest energy-efficient LED lighting solutions. However, even more impressive is the LED system that is currently being installed in India’s Nagpur, replacing incandescent lamps at major traffic signals as part of the traffic improvement plan of the city. According to sources, the new LED lighting system will save an astronomical 90 percent on energy due to its low power consumption and longer life qualities.
Back in London, the Tower 42 project leads the way but more and more blue chip organisations and large office building management agencies are expected to follow the trend for installing LED lighting. It’s a major achievement that is set to help meet guidelines set at Copenhagen earlier this year.
Considering the energy and power consumed by big corporations across the United Kingdom, project Tower 42 is a great example of how one change can make a big difference. LED light bulbs (Light Emitting Diode) function as a cluster of individual units that produce white light. It is the exact combination of these units that yields the tone of the light. BLT Direct has taken a special focus on low energy light bulbs with its stock of LED light fittings and selection of LED light bulbs. As a cool alternative to the incandescent light bulb, the LED bulb not only saves energy but can last from 50,000 to 100,000 hours, while incandescent light bulbs last around 1000 hours. Devoid of fragile filament, the LED lightbulb is also shock resistant and durable.
With the bar raised, there is no doubt that office building management companies, large corporations and blue chip organisations will begin to consider a switch to LED lighting, making a significant contribution to reducing the UK’s carbon footprint while creating an positive public image.

UK on a roll to ban incandescent light bulbs and meet targets set at the Copenhagen Climate Summit
As we prepare for an energy efficient future, the demise of the incandescent light bulb is nigh. With just a year before the UK bans incandescent light bulbs for good, traditional light bulbs are being replaced by energy efficient alternatives, faster than you can say, “Copenhagen”. Already, 100-watt bulbs and frosted or pearled bulbs have been taken off the shelves. Next in line to vanish will be the 75 watt and 60 watt bulbs, followed by a ban on all remaining incandescent bulbs in September 2012.
BLT Direct is a passionate advocate of energy saving light bulbs and is reminding homeowners to act now to avoid being left in the dark as old style bulb supplies diminish. Many old style bulbs can be directly replaced with low energy and LED light bulb alternatives. The firm has developed a handy replacement guide available online, showing which new energy efficient bulb is most suited to replace old style incandescent lamps and fittings.
With many nations reaffirming their commitment to reducing their carbon footprint following December’s Copenhagen Climate Change summit, the UK is already well on its way with the planned ban on incandescent lightbulbs. The deadline for sale of the old style light bulbs and phasing out of some styles this year means homeowners will need to start replacing their bulbs ahead of the 2012 deadline.
BLT Direct is one of the web’s largest stockists of energy saving bulbs and low energy LED light bulbs and has a huge range of low energy, energy efficient and daylight energy saving light bulbs in various styles. Its GU10 lamp is a popular alternative to incandescent bulbs and one of the firm’s best selling energy saving bulbs. It’s a great choice for anyone making the switch from incandescent to energy saving as its huge range of suitable applications includes shop displays, kitchens, bathrooms, showrooms, reception areas, conference rooms, corridors, offices, hotels, restaurants and lounges. With an average life of between 8000 hours and 15000 hours (depending on the lamp) and an 80% saving on running costs, they are extremely energy efficient.

The ultimate guide to energy saving light bulbs
Pick a light bulb that’s right for you, right for the environment and right for your home. There’s more to it than you think. Stockists of some 10,000 variations of light bulb products, including light fittings, industry experts, BLT Direct know that sometimes, it’s difficult to know which product to choose for the best.
Passionate about energy-saving bulbs, the company’s new guide to saving energy and identifying a light bulb to suit both the environment and your personal requirements explains the difference between product types and why it‘s time you thought twice before adding one to your shopping cart.
Opt for energy saving bulbs: Good for pocket, good for environment. It’s the smart choice that will change the way you see your electricity bill while also saving energy.
The difference: Energy efficient light bulbs cost more than your regular incandescent bulb, however efficient use of electricity means a longer operating life. This leads to real cash savings which balances out the initial higher cost of the bulb.
Take your pick:
Regular incandescent light bulbs
Incandescent light bulbs use electricity to heat a filament until it glows white hot, producing light. About 90 percent of electricity used by incandescent light bulbs is lost as heat. These bulbs typically burn for 750 to 1,000 hours - or about three hours a day for a year.
Incandescent spotlights and floodlights
Used predominantly for outdoor purposes, these bulbs burn for about 2,000 hours.
Gu10 Halogen bulbs
Featuring a small capsule filled with Halogen gas, this type of bulb produces more light, uses less energy and lasts longer than your average incandescent bulb of the same wattage. Gu10 lightbulbs cost more yet last a good two to three years longer.
Fluorescent tubes
Preferable to the incandescent for saving energy, this type of product does not produce heat. Long, thin tubes, often seen in kitchens, a fluorescent tube will last on average 10 to 20 times longer than a traditional incandescent light bulb.
Compact fluorescent bulbs
Otherwise known as the energy-saving light bulb, these provide just as much light as your regular incandescent bulb while using just a quarter of the energy. An example would be a 15-watt energy saving bulb yielding the same amount of light as a 60-watt incandescent while lasting 10 times longer.
Fact!
If every household in the UK fitted just one energy saving light bulb, there would be enough electricity saved to power lighting in three million homes for an entire year.
The advantages of low energy light bulbs?
Small things come in powerful packages, so do not underestimate the complexity behind the energy saving light bulb! Ever-evolving technology has spawned a generation of light bulbs more sophisticated than we could ever have imagined. A clever example is the dimmable energy saving light bulb, which produces a fraction of the electricity needed, saving up £14 per year per bulb.
Think: Don’t forget to switch off the light before leaving a room to cut wastage and save on bills even more.
A point to remember: Not all energy saving light bulbs will work with electronic sensors, dimmers and timers. No excuses: Energy saving bulbs are available in a spectrum of shapes and sizes, including bayonet and screw fittings. If you prefer the traditional-look bulb, then there are even energy-saving versions of these - including stick type for the middle of the room and flat type for wall fittings.
What you can save per bulb: An energy saving bulb will cost £5 while a traditional option will cost just 50p. A great difference? You won’t be saying that in six months! Energy saving bulbs can accumulate £14 in savings per year. Over a typical lifetime, that’s £68 with costs recovered in six months.

Copenhagen Climate Summit, Are You Doing Your Bit Asks Light Bulb Firm BLT Direct
Around 15,000 delegates from 192 nations had recently descended on the Danish capital, Copenhagen for a fortnight long summit on climate change. As the world’s leaders gathered to discuss cutting global carbon outputs and set new targets for environmental change, one of the web’s top light bulb and energy efficient light bulb e-tailors urged shoppers to do their bit to curb emissions and reduce damage to the environment.
BLT Direct is one of the web’s largest stockists of energy saving bulbs and low energy LED light bulbs and is a passionate advocate of the energy efficient alternative to traditional bulbs. The firm launched an information initiative 12 months ago to educate home owners and businesses on the benefits of switching to energy saving bulbs. It has published a series of online guides and articles over the course of the last year on the range and benefits of energy efficient lighting. The web site has also developed a unique bulb finder tool to show clients quickly and easily the most appropriate energy efficient alternative to their existing lightbulbs.
A company spokesman said “We should all be concerned about the impact we have on the environment around us. Switching to a low energy lightbulb or replacing a traditional bulb with an energy saving LED alternative is an easy way to make a difference. An energy saver emits less pollution as it consumes energy more efficiently, making them kinder to the planet and kinder to the pocket.
“Energy saving light bulbs have come a long way over the last few years and you can now replace most bulbs with a more efficient lamp. We stock a huge range of low energy, energy efficient and daylight energy saving light bulbs in various styles so we’re confident that we can help everyone do their bit.”
