Fluorescent Lamps Save A Lot of Money

The Maids • May 16, 2014

Have you always wanted to reduce the amount of electricity you use? Well, now you can with the help of fluorescent lamps. These lamps can help you in reducing your electricity usage and, consequently, your electric bill by as much as two-thirds of your current bill. The fluorescent lamps are highly prevalent in the market due to the focus of government on increasing energy efficiency and the technical advances made by the manufacturers.

A standard incandescent bulb uses 50% more energy than a comparable fluorescent lamp. The energy-saving capacity of a fluorescent lamp can be gauged from the fact that a 12- to 13-watt fluorescent lamp will provide equivalent brightness of a 60-watt incandescent bulb.

As far as electricity consumption in the house is concerned, this can result in some big savings. Imagine bringing down your electricity bill by two-thirds by just changing the bulbs in the house. You can hire a housekeeping service with the money you’ll save and you can enjoy the free time doing the things you always wanted to do.

In fact, take your family to movies, to an amusement park, out for dinner, or just have fun time having pizza together in the house. You don't need to do much to save the money that will allow you to do these things more easily—just throw out all the incandescent bulbs in the house and replace them with the fluorescent lamps.

Due to increased demand of the fluorescent lamps, manufacturers have now made them available in many different forms. These lamps are available in circular form, spiral form, and candle lamp form. In addition to these different forms, fluorescent lamps are also available in many different types which include mini threaded sockets and bayonet sockets.

To start with, you can start replacing the standard bulbs and mini bulbs in the house used in ceiling lights, night lights, candles, and table lamp lights. Do not forget to get equivalent brightness fluorescent lamp.

To check whether you are getting the right fluorescent lamp to replace the incandescent bulb, look at the lumen comparison. Lumen is the unit of measurement of brightness and it provides a much better measure of comparison between an incandescent bulb and a fluorescent lamp than the number of watts.
