Incandescent Light Bulbs Phase Out

Inefficient light bulbs or otherwise known as incandescent light bulbs are being phased out. Using energy efficient light bulbs installed by one of our electricians as opposed to inefficient bulbs could make a real difference to our national energy consumption. The Government, retailers, electricians and energy companies all have plans in place to phase out inefficient light bulbs.

Will They Work For Me?

There are energy saving light bulbs that can be fitted by an electrician in a conventional light fitting and for those of you with a dimmer switch you can purchase special dimming energy saving light bulbs. Compact Fluorescent Lamps and LED Lighting options are available via our network of electricians.

Some energy saving light bulbs use a ballast or transformer, which is installed by the electrician to the base of the light fitting. The electricity supply is controlled to the bulb, providing a decreased flow of electricity. In some instances the low energy fittings need to be different so that an electrican can install the particular energy efficient light bulb. Your Mr Electric electrician will provide more information on how you can protect the environment now and in the future.

As more energy saving light bulbs are manufactured and put into the market place, energy saving light bulbs will become an inexpensive option due to efficient manufacturing processes. More and more Mr Electric electricians will then be installing energy saving light bulbs in houses and commercial properties throughout the UK. Energy Saving Grants, Carbon Trust Loans and Enhanced Capital Allowanceoffer incentives to encourage you to install energy saving light bulbs.
