Illumination Choices that Help You Save Energy and Money

Energy consumption is important to control in order to save on your electric bill. Incandescent bulbs do provide a lot of light, but use a lot of energy to run. As time moved forward, many types of bulbs evolved, including chandelier bulbs, ceiling fan bulbs, small bulbs, large bulbs, and even candelabra bulbs. Each bulb creates a different tone of light, making the look of the room different from one bulb color tone to another.

Today, you can find fluorescent lamps and L.E.D. bulbs that save energy and money on your electric bill. 

Deciding whether or not to upgrade those old incandescent light bulbs? It can be a hesitant decision due to their price point, but you will make up for that on your electric bill.

Not only do they last for several years, but they also use about 2/3 less energy. In fact, color tone output choices like daylight are also available with fluorescent lighting. Select other color tone choices too, such as natural and cool white. The descriptions can vary from one manufacturer to the next, but many are the same or very similar.

As an alternative to fluorescent lighting, L.E.D. (light emitting diode) bulbs have evolved too. These bulbs save even more energy than fluorescent lamps. Nevertheless, options are currently limited. In a good way, many options are growing for L.E.D. lamps, including chandelier bulbs, flood lamp bulbs, ceiling light bulbs, etc.
