When it comes to lighting, a lot of energy and money can be saved. Energy-saving lamps and LED lamps have many advantages, but differ from each other in some features. For example, LED lamps are somewhat more expensive than energy-saving lamps, but they are characterized by a burning time of 20,000 hours. In addition, compared to ordinary light bulbs, they minimize power consumption by 80 percent. The burning time of energy-saving lamps is 10,000 hours and reduces electricity consumption by 70 percent.
Energy-saving lamps have a better life cycle assessment than ordinary light bulbs and halogen lamps. However, the front-runners in terms of eco-balance are LED lamps. In addition, LED lamps quickly illuminate the premises when switched on and are consistent and efficient even with temperature differences. Another advantage is that they are available in different shades of color. Thus, consumers can choose between warm white and daylight white illumination. Some models are even dimmable or can be incorporated into a smart home system.
In the "Energy-saving bulb or LED" checklist published by the non-profit consulting company co2online, consumers will find information on the different forms and properties of LED bulbs as well as detailed buying advice. Consumers also get an overview of the different bases of the lamps, brightness levels and color temperature, as well as recommendations on which bulbs are best suited for which rooms. The checklist and information overview are part of co2online's "Climate Seeks Protection" campaign. The campaign is aimed at individuals and provides information on individual climate protection options to motivate people to get involved.
