How much do energy saving light bulbs save?

30
Energy saving light bulbs and LED bulbs last between 6,000 and 15,000 hours , that is, up to 15 times longer than conventional light bulbs. They also use less electricity, up to a fifth of what normal incandescent bulbs use.

This makes a 23-watt energy saving light bulb lasting 6 years cheaper for the consumer than using several conventional 80-watt light bulbs for the same period of time (European Union calculation based on a tariff electricity of 0.136 euros per kilowatt-hour).

This is how the light bulb was invented

History tells us that the famous inventor Thomas Alva Edison was the inventor of the light bulb, which is not true. Many searched for it and quite a few got it, but Edison was the one who turned that invention into a money-making machine.
