Energy-saving light bulbs significantly reduce your electricity bill. But they must be adapted to each room to be effective.

Go to low consumption bulbs is not obvious because their powers are not the same. Depending on the type of room they illuminate in the House, you have to choose your bulbs before you buy them.

To know the power that it is advisable to use for each part of the House, I use the following correspondence:

Results

There you go, you are going to make real savings with low consumption light bulbs :-)

With these indications, you will know which intensity must be suitable for every room in the house. There is no need to strongly illuminate a hallway, for example, when it is essential in the dining room. By choosing the right light intensity, you make beautiful savings.

Savings made

By using this correspondence table, I save electricity by using bulbs really suited to my needs.

No more light bulbs that light too much, and especially that consume too much for nothing. A good way to become thrifty at home.

You should also know that the low consumption bulbs take a long time to light a room. It is therefore perhaps necessary to favor classic bulbs for parts of passage, of the entry type to be able to benefit from the best lighting instantly. This avoids leaving the light on for too long to be sure you can see clearly.
