REASONS FOR USING SAVING FOCUSES
1. They last longer. Being energy savers,
they can last from 8 to 10 years, if used for
an average of 3 to 4 hours.
2. They help the environment, releasing
less heat than normal foci, is very good for
hot climates and closed rooms.
3. The massive use of this technology
makes it possible to reduce CO2 emissions
by 80 per cent by decreasing energy
consumption in all sectors, thereby
contributing to Energy Efficiency (EE) and
economic saving of consumers, and
representing a alternative of sustainable
lighting for the care of the planet.
4. Reduce electricity consumption. They
save between 70 and 80% of energy
compared to traditional bulbs.
5. They produce less heat. They generate
80% less heat than incandescent ones,
which reduces the risk of fire.
