With the wide range of energy saving light bulbs now in the market place the choice of which ones to buy can be quite daunting. The large range of energy saving light bulbs are LED, Halogen and CFL bulbs which use their own technologies and therefore have differing characteristics and energy efficiencies. In this article I will provide a resume of the acquirable technologies for energy saving light bulbs which is expected to enable you to make a more informed choice.
The Halogen Bulb
Halogen bulbs are in effect an advanced kind of the incandescent light bulb. Most halogen energy saving light bulbs save over and above 25% in electricity costs and the greater part are compatible with dimmer switches.

The main disadvantage of the CFL energy saving light bulbs is that its appearance can be poor, particularly where the fluorescent tubes are visible, but there are some very desirable looking spherical shaped CFL’s around. One matter is for sure and that is that the modern CFL is a colossal advancement on its predecessors.
LED Light Bulbs
LED light bulbs are the best type of energy saving light bulbs. With an energy saving of between 75% and 85%, LED’s are likely to offer the ultimate in energy efficiency. Also LED bulbs have an especially long life and their exceptionally low energy consumption means that CO2 emissions are kept to a minimum making LED bulbs the more favourable green choice. The final consideration is the visual appearance and the high technology look of the LED energy saving light bulbs has the ability to look very good with modern interiors, but if yours is traditional then choose wisely.
