Energy Ratings

Curiousa are committed to supplying as wide a range of bulb options as possible whilst maintaining our stringent environmental policy of minimising waste and promoting low energy use.

Common light bulbs now on sale typically use about 25%-80% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs. Many bulbs meet these new energy rating standards, including halogen incandescents, CFLs, and LEDs. These new bulbs provide a wide range of choices in color and brightness, and many of them last much longer than traditional lightbulbs. The lighting standards, which phased in from 2012-2014, do not ban incandescent or any specific bulb type; they say that bulbs need to use about 25% less energy.
