Led there be light!! (for a quarter of the price)

This week I am sharing a great money saver.

LED light bulbs are the new kids on the block for eco lighting, but as always with new tech these things come at a price. Though some would argue that you get your money’s worth with the energy savings and potential life span of the bulbs, replacing as many bulbs as possible in a home can rack up some serious spending, unless………………..

You take a trip to your nearest Poundland!! – Yes really they sell led light bulbs for £1.00, the best that can be done by places like Aldi is £4.00 and if you go to a place like B&Q they can be as much as £7.00 each, you might not be able to get every sort that you need, but so far we have managed to replace quite a lot of the bulbs in our house with great success, especially those in table lamps.

 Mr W keeps coming home with more of them to see what else he can replace, there were mutterings last night of him seeing if they had some suitable for replacing the bulbs in my cooker hood (I hope they have because there is an air of disapproval whenever I have them on, they are expensive to run apparently!!)

Some of the ones available are :-

Bayonet Candle BC22

Bayonet Golfball BC22

Edison Screw E14

Edison Golf Bulb E14

They sell quite a selection of Halogen bulbs as well, sometimes with 2 in a pack.

So with darker nights drawing in, light up your life for less
