Energy Efficient Lamps Explained

Lamp types

The table below details all common lamp types against efficiency and lamp life. Please note that neither tungsten filament nor low voltage halogen are 'energy efficient'. The technological progress of LED's will ensure that most will conform in the near future, however, very few are deemed 'energy efficient' at the moment. The most popular 'energy efficient' lamps for domestic residences are the linear and compact fluorescents followed by cold cathode. Please see the chart below for further details on their colour rendering properties as well as the colour temperatures that are available.
