Why switch to LED lighting?
Switching to LED (Light Emitting Diode) lighting can result in significant energy savings in England. According to the UK government's Energy Saving Trust, LEDs use up to 90% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs, and up to 85% less than halogen bulbs. This means that if you replace all your incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs, you could save up to £35 per year on your energy bills, and if you replace halogen bulbs, you could save up to £25 per year.
The exact amount of energy and money you save will depend on a variety of factors, including the number of bulbs you replace, how often you use your lights, and the wattage of the bulbs you replace. However, generally speaking, LED bulbs have a longer lifespan than traditional bulbs, which means you'll need to replace them less frequently, and they're also more efficient, which means they convert more of the energy they use into light, rather than heat.
In addition to the energy savings, switching to LED lighting can also help reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.
