Today’s challenge is:
Change One Light Bulb To An Energy Efficient Bulb
Here are a few facts on “Why?”:
1 – They Use Less Electricity and You Save Money
This may seem obvious, but energy efficient bulbs use less electricity than traditional bulbs. This helps with your utility bills, as, on average, utility bills are made up of 1/5 lighting costs. The energy-saving versions can be almost four times as efficient as traditional bulbs when it comes to the wattage usage.
Much depends on how long you keep your bulbs turned on and the cost of electricity in your area, but on average, you can expect a $30 savings on electricity over the life of the bulb. If that amount isn’t compelling enough or utilities are included in your rent, there are other reasons to choose these light bulbs over traditional ones.
2 – They Last Longer and You Save Money
Energy-saving light bulbs tend to last about ten times longer than traditional incandescent light bulbs. That means that these compact fluorescent lights will save you money despite costing more at the outset. Before you reach for the cheap light bulb, multiply the cost by ten. You will find that ten traditional incandescent light bulbs easily totals $10 to $20 more than one compact fluorescent light bulb.
3– They Provide More Pleasing Light
Traditional light bulbs bathe people in a sort of orange or yellow-tinted unnatural glow. Over time, exposure to this type of light can affect your mood, as natural sunlight has been proven to boost a person’s mood and make them happier. The light given off by compact fluorescent bulbs is closer to natural light, a more pure, bright white light that can boost your mood without being overpowering. However, there are a number of choices for spectrum of the light and the level of brightness produced by these bulbs if you’re looking for a different kind of light.
Energy saving light bulbs do cost more initially, but they save you more money in the long run because they’re longer lasting and they burn through less electricity when in use.
You will also be reducing your negative impact on the environment and living under more natural-like light!
