There are several reasons why you should be switching to energy saving light bulbs to light up your home or office.

One is the cost savings. You can save up to 10% off of your home electricity bill each month. These new light bulbs require less power to operate.

Another reason is the long lifespan compact fluorescent bulbs can last several years. So even though a traditional light bulb may cost less than a dollar, you have to replace them every other month or so. Energy efficient light bulbs cost up to $3 or $4 each if you buy them at the store.

You can buy them for much less online, especially on eBay.

One more reason you should switch to energy saving bulbs is they help reduce pollution. This one is more of an indirect benefit. The lower electricity required to power them leads to less electricity being needed from the power plants. So by using less electricity, less greenhouse gases are released from the power plants.

So by the simple act of using a new CFL light bulb you can help save the environment from climate change in your own little way.

One last way you can save is by saving time of not having to change a light bulb for a few years.

If you have a ceiling fan or two in your house, you're probably like me, having to change at least one of those bulbs every other month or so. With an energy saving lightbulb, you'll save time each month by not having to worry about changing another burnt out bulb.

Head on over to eBay to buy some energy saving light bulbs and start saving money, time, and the environment all at the same time.

I recently bought a pack of 48 CFLs on eBay for around a dollar each. Then I went to Sam's Wholesale Club and found they were selling the exact same light bulbs I bought in packs of 8 for $24. Triple what I had just bought them for.

That just shows you how much more you can save buying them online on sites like eBay. They don't have the high markup. So not only can you save on buying the energy saving or energy efficient light bulbs online but you can also save money when you replace your old bulbs that raise your electricity bills.
