Energy Efficient Light Bulbs: Is It Worth It?

Who doesn’t like a good deal? If you’re like the rest of us, you get really excited when that item you wanted goes on sale and there’s nothing wrong with saving a few bucks here and there. But smart shopping doesn’t always mean you have to save money or spend less. Sometimes, spending a little extra up front can really be to your benefit in the long run.

Take light bulbs for example. Yes, you can take the cheap route and spend $2 or $3 for a bulb but how long will those last you? Chances are, you’ll be back at the store within a few weeks or months to replace the bulb. Well, that’s not the case with energy-efficient bulbs.

Yes, they may cost a bit more but we strongly believe it’s worth the investment. Energy efficient bulbs use an estimated 75% less energy and create around 75% less heat than incandescent bulbs. Still don’t think it’s worth it? Additionally, they can last up to 10 times longer and can save you nearly $130 per year on your electricity bills.
