Use LED lightbulbs
The new bulbs come on instantly, with a warm white light, save loads of energy, rarely need replacing, and pay for themselves. They’re a long way from the old twizzly compact fluorescents and use less power. And they should last 15–20 years with average usage.
They’re available in the standard screw or bayonet fitting and are about as big as the old incandescents – but much better for the planet.
We’re very keen on them. A study of the effects of introducing LEDs into households calculated a surprisingly hefty 7% reduction in peak electricity consumption.
