Incandescent light bulbs have become a wasteful light source that is turning into a thing of the past.\u00a0 These bulbs often give off as much unnecessary heat energy as they do light.\u00a0 With new, more efficient lighting alternatives, more and more consumers are switching to alternative lighting methods everyday.<\/p>\n
Compact Florescent Lights <\/strong><\/p>\n While compact florescent lights are not the most ideal lighting source, they\u2019re much more efficient than their incandescent predecessors.\u00a0 These earth friendly light bulbs have come a long way from the original models which gave off an unusual blue light and were fairly expensive.\u00a0 Compact florescent lights can now be purchased at very reasonable prices and the light they produce is quite natural.\u00a0 They last an exceptionally long time, and use a fraction of the energy the incandescent types of bulbs do.<\/p>\n The only drawback to compact florescent lights is the small amounts of mercury they contain.\u00a0 While this mercury is harmless for regular use of these lights, it can be quite toxic when dealing with a broken bulb.\u00a0 Careful clean up and disposal steps must be followed when using these lights, so while they are incredibly efficient, they aren\u2019t without their flaws.<\/p>\n Light Emitting Diodes (LED)<\/strong><\/p>\n Currently, LED lights are somewhat more expensive types of earth friendly light bulbs.\u00a0 However, if you choose to invest in these, they last surprisingly long and eventually pay for themselves.\u00a0 The light they produce is very natural and they use extremely small amounts of energy.\u00a0 The most important difference between these bulbs and the florescent lights is the durability they possess.\u00a0 They would rarely break and if they do, they contain no toxic mercury you would have to deal with.<\/p>\n Reducing you electricity bill with earth friendly light bulbs isn\u2019t the only function they perform.\u00a0 Because these light bulbs last so long, they produce much less waste material that will end up in a landfill.\u00a0 They also consume less power resulting in less wasted energy and resources.\u00a0 In addition to these types of bulbs, solar lamps are another option that can be used in well lit areas of your house and yard to give you the greenest lighting methods possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Incandescent light bulbs have become a wasteful light source that is turning into a thing of the past.\u00a0 These bulbs often give off as much unnecessary heat energy as they do light.\u00a0 With new, more efficient lighting alternatives, more and more consumers are switching to alternative lighting methods everyday.
