<p style="text-align: justify;">Energy-Saving Light Bulbs Seem So Expensive: Will They Really Save Me Money?</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">yes!</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">One of the key reasons why more people haven't switched to energy-efficient lighting is because they see them as more expensive. Often people base this assessment on the purchase price only, rather than the&nbsp;whole-life cost of a light bulb. Incandescent bulbs have to be replaced much more often, and they use five times the electricity of low energy light bulbs, which means they actually work out to be very expensive.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">As CFLs have become more popular, the costs have come down significantly. At around N750&nbsp;or less for good quality versions of common bulb types, they soon pay for themselves.&nbsp;Savings will be in the region of N2000 a year&nbsp;for average use of a bulb, so it's easy to see that the upfront cost will be recovered within a few months.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
