How to Choose LED Light Bulbs

Energy-efficient lighting helps lower electricity bills and reduce carbon dioxide emissions, all without compromising the quality of light in our homes. Replacing all the bulbs in a house with LED lights could reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 50kg a year. Lighting accounts for 11% of the average UK household electricity consumption, so making the switch could also save us money. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) turn on instantly at full brightness and are available to fit nearly any light fitting in the home.
