With fall officially here and nights drawing in, you'll be relying on your home lighting more than ever. But, with more dependence on artificial light sources comes more electricity used and higher energy bills.

For that reason, we recommend swapping your bulbs over to these EcoSmart Dimmable LED Light Bulbs, available at Home Depot, as soon as possible.

All prices were correct at the time of publication.

It's no secret that energy bills are higher in winter, attributed to common heating system mistakes and common things making your heating system work harder. What you might not have realized, though, is that your increased lighting use can have a profound effect on your monthly spending, too.

That's why we suggest replacing your bulbs with the EcoSmart Dimmable LED Light Bulbs, available at Home Depot, which will improve your home's EPC rating and keep energy bill costs down.

In fact, they boast a $0.67 saving per year, amounting to an estimated $57 total over each bulb's 15,000-hour lifetime – meaning one pack of four bulbs could save you $228, making them a worthy eco-home improvement.

What's more, the bulbs are compatible with most dimmer switches and are soft and warm, ideal for swapping out any flickering lights and making a living room cozy with lighting.

With customers saying they're 'Good light bulbs at an affordable price,' 'nice and bright,' and have been 'running over five years strong,' we're as 'sold on these' as they are.

Just remember, if you are looking to keep energy bills down, you do need to turn the lights off when you leave a room.

FAQs

Are LED lightbulbs bad for you?

No, LED lightbulbs, luckily, are perfectly safe for humans and for your eyes. Where you may have seen information on the contrary refers, in the majority, to the negative impact of blue light from LEDs, primarily from screens like your mobile phone, tablet, or laptop, which can suppress melatonin, interfere with circadian rhythms, cause visual fatigue, and difficulty sleeping.

While this blue light is present in home lighting, the effects tend to be negligible.
