Safe on electricity costs by changing your lightbulbs in your home to energy saving bulbs.
Energy saving light bulbs can last up to 12 times as long as traditional bulbs, use less electricity to emit the same amount of light as a traditional lightbulb. They’re an energy efficient option, helping you to reduce your carbon footprint and that of your home.
The most common energy saving light bulbs are light emitting diode (LED), compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) and halogen incandescent.
They come at a premium but last longer and save you more. Most shops stock these types of bulbs.
Other bulbs you may be interested in are energy saving light bulbs with a backup batter installed. In the event of load-shedding, these will continue to be ON and run for an amount of time subject to the size of the battery and how long it has been charging for.
