  • › A-rated bulbs

    A-rated bulbs are cheapest in the long term

    Replace seven incandescent bulbs with A-rated equivalents and save 67 Euros per year.

  • › LEDs

    LEDs are energy efficient light sources with a long lifetime

    LEDs are small electronic semi-conductor chips which radiate light when current flows through them. They come in both coloured and white versions and typically use 0.1-5 watts.

  • › Incandescent bulbs

    Conventional bulbs are rated E-F

    Conventional bulbs use four times as much power as A-rated energy saving bulbs.

  • › Halogen bulbs

    Halogen bulbs are more efficient than incandescents

    Halogen bulbs have the same colour qualities as incandescents, but are more energy efficient.

  • › Lighting control

    Lighting control helps provide the light you need

    You can save a lot of electricity by managing your lights properly. Lighting control ensures that lights only come on when you need them. This is achieved with the help of motion sensors. Light dimmers can provide the right level of lighting in different situations.
