Light Bulb Saver

Welcome to Light Bulb Saver

Choosing light bulb replacements for your home can be confusing. You may have noticed that the choices of light bulbs available have expanded and some of the older options you once relied on have disappeared. With lighting taking between 8 to 15% of the average household electricity spend; there are lots of options to reduce the amount of energy used for lighting while still providing the right light for your needs.

The Light Bulb Saver mobile app helps you calculate how much money you can save by replacing your current lights with energy efficient alternatives, and offers tips to help in designing effective and efficient lighting solutions for each room in your home.

The app also provides a useful table to convert the wattage of traditional incandescents and halogens into lumens, and provides information about the household lighting technologies available in Australia, along with other useful lighting information.

Light Bulb Saver is completely free and works without connecting to a mobile network.

The app was originally developed by the Swedish Energy Agency and has been customised for use in Australia by the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science on behalf of the Equipment Energy Efficiency (E3) Program.

Light Bulb Saver has four parts:

FIND YOUR LIGHT

This tool allows you to calculate how much you can save by replacing your current lights with energy efficient alternatives.

You can compare traditional incandescents, halogens and CFLs (Compact Fluorescent Lamps) technologies in a range of shapes, including omnidirectional (classic shape), directional (reflector/downlight), capsule and tubular fluorescent.

LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are the most efficient types of lighting on the market today, and so the app does not offer any replacement options.

LIGHTING YOUR HOME

Lighting should be planned to complement the lifestyle of the home. Consider the activities that occur in each room, the atmosphere you want to create, and the decorative elements that you want to emphasise.

Take a look through each room in this section to get some ideas about designing the lighting in your home.

CONVERT

We used to buy old fashioned incandescent bulbs by the amount of watts (power) they used. With energy efficient technologies now available, light bulbs now produce the same amount of light using far less power so it no longer makes sense to shop for Watts.

Using ‘lumens’ (lm) is now the way to choose the light you need. The more lumens, the more light.

The conversion table shows how many lumens a new light bulb should produce to deliver as much light as a traditional incandescent or directional halogen.

欢迎到灯泡保护程序

选择为您的家庭灯泡更换可能会造成混淆。您可能已经注意到，可用灯泡的选择已经扩大，一些你曾经依赖上了年纪的选项已经消失了。随着照明8之间取到的平均家庭用电支出的15％;有很多的选择，以减少能源的用于照明，同时还为您的需求提供合适的光量。

灯泡保护程序移动应用程序可以帮助你计算出多少钱，你可以通过使用高效节能的替代品替换当前的灯保存，并提供提示在您家每个房间设计有效的和高效的照明解决方案，以帮助。

该应用程序还提供了一个有用的表格，传统的白炽灯和卤素的功率转换成流明，并提供有关在澳大利亚，以及其他有用的信息，照明以及家庭照明技术的信息。

灯泡保护程序是完全免费的，没有连接到移动网络的工作原理。

该应用程序最初是由瑞典能源署开发，并已定制代表设备能源效率（E3）计划在澳大利亚使用的工业创新与科学系。

灯泡保护程序有四个部分：

寻找你的光

这个工具允许你计算出多少你可以通过使用高效节能的替代品替换当前的灯保存。

你可以比较传统的白炽灯，卤素灯和CFL（紧凑型荧光灯）在一系列形状，包括全向（经典造型）技术，定向（反射/筒灯），胶囊和管形荧光灯。

LED（发光二极管）是最有效的类型目前市场上的照明，因此应用程序不提供任何替代选项。

照亮你HOME

照明应该有计划，以补充家中的生活方式。考虑到发生在每个房间，你要创建的氛围的活动，并要强调的装饰元素。

采取措施，通过在本节每个房间一看，以获取有关在您的家设计照明的一些想法。

兑换

我们使用的瓦（功率）的购买量老式的白炽灯泡，他们使用。随着节能技术现已推出，灯泡目前生产用少得多的功率，从而不再有意义店瓦的光量相同。

使用“流明”（LM）现在选择你所需要的光的方式。该流明以上，越轻。

该转换表给出了一个新的灯泡应该有多少流明的产生提供尽可能多的光作为一个传统的白炽灯或卤素灯的方向。
