Got a minute? No, well how about 18 seconds? One website claims that is all it takes to change a light bulb. Wait right here while I test that out...
OK...so It took me 20 but the point is it only takes a few seconds to make a big impact AND get this SAVE money.
According to the Energystar website, you can save up to $39 over a four year span just by changing one bulb...ONE BULB. $10 a year might not seem like a whole lot of savings but if you are like me you might have more than one bulb in your house...imagine the savings potential every time you turn a light on. Personally I love the savings and I also love that they are much, much cooler than traditional bulbs so I worry less about lamp fires or burn fingers of my beloved, danger finding toddler.
I know the upfront cost seems so much but in the long run you are doing yourself, your wallet, and the environment good. I was able to find the bulbs with instant rebates offered through our local power company. I ended up paying $3.00 for a 4 pack of 60 watt equivalent light bulbs at Home Depot (so as you can imagine I loaded my cart full). And using all 4 should save me close to $40 a year...I'd say that investment was worth it!
Our new home has quite a few recessed lights so I was glad to have found the floodlight bulbs on sale too. Now I must depart this blogging session to go see if I can improve my 20 second light changing time...I should get a lot of practice in, changing all these bulbs out.
See you back on Friday for a fun post
