A Solution To Light Bulb Legislation
A solution to light bulb legislation
For those who have dedicated blood sweat and tears not to mention spent hard earned cash improving our homes over the last few years not only is the credit crunch reducing its equity but now new government legislation is telling us which light bulbs we can and cannot use in our pride and joy!
Maybe you are you one of the proud owners of a stunning chandelier hanging proud in the centrepiece of your newly decorated room? “So what” you may reply.
But do you know the much loved incandescent candle bulb is to be phased out by 2011 in the UK ?
What option do you have to re create the chandeliers impressive appearance? Replacing the candles with Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs CFLs would lose the chandeliers sparkle and will detract from the desired effect. Replacing the chandelier itself and buying a cheaper less impressive light fitting is surely a last resort.
Luckily a “like for like” replacement which meets the new legislation criteria is now on the market. The Energy Saver Halogen is translucent dimmable and mimics the appearance of a standard candle light bulb. An Energy Saver Halogen candle 28w offers the same output as a 40w incandescent bulb and it reduces running costs by 30. So you can not only replace the bulbs as and when you need to but reduce your running costs replace them less often as they are rated at 2000 hours and sleep peacefully knowing you have done your bit for the environment as well.
