Low-Energy Bulb 11 Watt Double Stick

Product Information:

Low-energy stick 11 Watt bulb with a bayonet fitting, producing illumination equivalent to that of a 60 Watt conventional bulb. Low-energy (or Compact Fluorescent Lamp) bulbs save around 80% of energy consumption and last 8 times the life of a standard bulb. These bulbs will save time and money in changing light bulbs and maintenance, as well as reducing waste and energy consumption.

So what type of low-energy bulb should you buy?

Both CFL bulbs (low-energy light bulbs) and LED bulbs offer substantial energy savings. LED bulbs offer the greater saving overall using less energy and lasting longer at 60,000 hours, however a greater initial investment is required. In addition alternative fittings may be required and at present they only provide directional lighting.

With improvements in LEDs making them more and more viable, they will be the choice of the future, but for now we would recommend choosing CFL bulbs. The energy savings are still very good and although they have a lesser lifespan at 8,000 hours, they are much cheaper and can directly replace your current bulbs which only last 1,150 hours, helping the environment and your pocket straight away.
