• LED light bulbs use different technology that enable them to produce a highly efficient and compact light using a fraction of the energy of other conventional bulbs and can last up to 25 times as long.
   
• LED’S bulbs can be used as a direct replacement for existing inefficient bulb types without the requirement for changing the entire light fitting.
   
• LED lights can produce a richer and more natural light and are available in many colours to suit your specific home lighting requirement.
   
• LED lighting is very directional and depending on your choice of product, it can be used to light anything from a small vase to an entire room.
   
• LED products are more environmentally friendly as they do not give off UV or IR radiation and are easier to re-cycle as they contain no harmful gases or components.

*If every UK household installed 3 energy efficient light bulbs, enough energy would be saved in a year to supply all street lighting in the UK.

*A 100 watt light bulb left on for just ½ an hour creates enough co2 to fill a party balloon.

*If everyone installed just one energy saving light bulb in their home, the carbon dioxide emissions saved would fill the Royal Albert hall nearly 2,000 times.

*An area three times the size of the Isle of White would need to be planted with Sitka spruce (a fast growing conifer) to absorb the carbon dioxide resulting from the annual UK use of domestic electrical lights and appliances.

*The British public walks to the moon and back twice every year to change light bulbs. LED bulbs last on average 25 times as long as standard bulbs.
