Though
the weather may be saying otherwise, Britain is now approaching summer, with
this year’s Summer Solstice happening on June 20th. Summer is a
great time to cut right down on energy bills, with long days meaning that light
bulbs need only be used very late at night, and warmer weather wiping out the
need for central heating. Using energy-saving
light bulbs is a great way to ensure that, for the small amount of time the
lights are needed through the summer, there is barely any energy consumed. BLT
Direct’s extensive selection of lighting solution includes the very latest in
energy-saving technology, helping to reduce those energy bills for the summer
quarter and save plenty of money.
One
of the biggest myths related to switching to energy-saving lighting methods is
that all existing light fixtures must be completely changed. BLT Direct’s range
of Energy
Saving GLS Bulbs all come with traditional Edison Screw Caps or Bayonet
Caps, which are compatible with the vast majority of fittings already installed
in homes and businesses. Using one of these standard 11-wat GLS bulbs will see
a 70% reduction in the wasteful heat output that has been synonymous with the
standard incandescent bulbs which came before. Energy consumption overall is
reduced by 80%, and the estimated electricity savings over the life span of the
bulbs is well in excess of £45.00. Prices start at just £1.49 from BLT Direct.
Dimmable
Energy Saving Light Bulbs are also a great way to save money on energy
bills over the summer. Using a dimmable bulb can see the end of that dilemma of
when to switch on the lights as the sun starts to go down later in the evening.
Like the GLS bulbs, these dimmable alternatives need no additional wiring and
are compatible with existing incandescent dimmers. The new LED Dimmable GLS
6-Watt bulb fits a vast array of current fixtures and, based on 7 hours of
usage per day, this bulb can last for an astounding 25 years. Over the course
of this considerable life span, customers can save around £194.20 in average
electricity bills – a sound investment considering that these bulbs are
available to purchase for just £14.99.
Probably
one of the most popular energy-saving lighting solutions is the Energy
Saving GU10 Light Bulb, which is generally thought of as a direct
alternative to the halogen bulbs which consume so much energy whilst giving off
comparatively little light. The newest technology ensures that these bulbs are
highly luminous, and with energy savings of up to 80% and a wide range of
colours and wattages on the market, there is a GU10 bulb for every purpose. At
just £3.99 per bulb, or £34.99 for a box of ten, it would be wise to stock up
now – prices of these bulbs are set to soar once their incandescent
predecessors are fully phased out.
