   LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are the most energy-efficient bulbs available, and will save you money on your energy bills as they are much cheaper to run. They do cost more to buy, but they rarely need replacing - the ones we found in our local DIY shop came with a 15-year guarantee.

   What are energy saving bulbs?

   • Energy saving bulbs, also known as compact fluorescent lamps (or CFLs) were the original energy-efficient alternative to incandescent bulbs. CFLs typically use 60-80% less energy than incandescent lights. CFL bulbs use an electric current to excite gases within the bulb, causing a phosphorus coating on the inside to glow, producing light.

   How did incandescent light bulbs become a reality?

   • The invention of the eventual solution to electric domestic lighting—essentially, the incandescent lamp bulb we're familiar with today—took decades. The main challenges lay in making a durable filament that produced a bright and steady light, and creating the best possible vacuum inside the glass bulb to prolong the filament's life.

   Are CFL lights more energy efficient than incandescent lights?

   • CFLs typically use 60-80% less energy than incandescent lights. CFL bulbs use an electric current to excite gases within the bulb, causing a phosphorus coating on the inside to glow, producing light. Through this method, less energy is lost to heat and the bulb is more energy efficient. Some CFLs take a few minutes to reach full brightness.

   Do LED lights use a lot of energy?

   • LED lights use very little energy, are claimed to last a very long time and, unlike regular energy-saving bulbs, are instantly bright when switched on. Most smart light bulbs are LEDs. They produce light through the use of a semi-conductor that emits light energy when an electrical current is passed through it.

   Are LED light bulbs good?

   • A common complaint of LEDs when they first came on the market is that the light they emit was too harsh. But you should now be able to find an LED bulb that matches the soft yellow light of the old incandescent bulbs, if that is the look you are after – and they’re up to ten times more efficient. 3.
