Does anyone know an online company that sells energy efficient bulbs in bulk for less?

Light bulbs....
Jennifer, try the pound shop in Galway, they often have a promotion(just round the corner from Wood Quay)
Also I saw a new fancy kettle, like a black box with a water filter at the back which boils a cup of water in 3 seconds. Claimes to save up to 65% on a normal elec kettle. Its an argos product |

Iīm very impressed with the Thermos idea, so obvious and yet it is one of these ideas that has to be pointed out!! I have seen one of those eco kettles when was staying with a friend in New York, I didnīt realize that they had made it over the Atlantic! |
My previous electric kettle used to guzzle electricity and didn't have a water level indicator on it so we always boiled too much. I bought a new Kenwood that shows the number of cups instead of just 1/4 litre, 1/2 litre etc and have already seen a big difference in our bill. I would recommend it, here is the link

The reason these save so much energy is that they keep the water at the boiling point in an insulated reservoir. This saves heat loss and heating costs but most important reduces the high energy input 'step' known as latent heat needed to change water to steam. I'm not sure how much of this latent heat quotient is saved (it might be crucial exactly how hot the water is kept) but if my physics is correct this should be a major advantage since it involves much more power consumption per second than is used for the rest of the boiling process. As for convenience, its terrific because apart from the absence of delay and the greater safety, it's nearly silent. |
