The nights are drawing in, the evenings are getting darker. You don’t need to flick all the lights on in the house though.
A single bulb can cost up to £84 a year to power. This is based on an Incandescent bulb, whereas LED are cheaper to run and would cost around £16 a year to power constantly.
So it’s a case of not only switching off your lights when you don’t need them, but consider changing the type of bulbs you’re using too. Of course you need to consider the price to buy the new bulbs in the first place.
You’ll save money and also save energy, perfect for eco friendly folk.
Plus, you don’t actually need to see everything all the time. Watching TV in the dark adds to the atmosphere and you could also light a couple of candles for extra atmosphere instead!
I have no worries with people using electricity when we need it, but switch it off when you’re not in the room. Now that’s a light bulb moment!
