Can I Save Money Doing Home Lighting Upgrades

Did you know that 11% of the home energy budget in Canada is burned up for electric lighting?

Incandescent bulbs are being phased out. According to Wikipedia, energy usage over the lifespan of standard incandescent bulbs cost 5-10 times the original purchase price of the bulb. Compare that to Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFL light bulbs). These are also starting to be phased out in favour of LED lights, which use 1/5th to 1/3rd the electricity by comparison.

Natural Resources Canada once heralded CFL light bulbs as the cheapest source of lighting on the market. At the time, the higher initial cost was factored into the equation. However, CFLs have now given way to Everything LED. BC Hydro also offers various residential energy Rebates and Buybacks during certain times of the year.
