Roughly 1/4 of your electricity bill is used specifically for lighting.We’ve listed the three most common types of light bulbs to use in hopes to shed some light on the issue. *pun very intended smile emoticon
1.)
Incandescent BulbsIncandescent bulbs, the oldest and most common bulbs on the market, are relatively inefficient compared to other bulbs Unfortunately, up to 90% of the actual energy it consumes produces heat. The cost of each bulb is the lowest, but the is also the shortest, as they only last up to 2 years.

2.)
Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs)
CFLs use up to 75% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs, cutting overall electricity costs significantly without producing excess heat. Their lifespan can be up to 9 years, and technically pay for themselves after just 9 months of use, costing less than half as incandescent bulbs for the same amount of light.

Important Fact: research has shown that CFL’s work best when left on for long periods of time. Because of this, it may be best not to use CFL light bulbs in areas like closets where the lights are usually just flipped on then off.
3.)
Light Emitting Diodes (LED)
The up-front costs of LEDs are higher compared to others, but ultimately they last up to 25% longer than traditional bulbs. By reducing energy consumption by up to 80%, LEDs pave a direct path to lower electricity bills.
