Switching to LED light is another way to reduce electricity bills in the long run, according to Giuliano Ghidini, consumer commercial leader at Signify UK.

He said: “LED lights replace your existing incandescent bulbs. Conventional light bulbs work by flipping a switch on and off.

“Sometimes they are hardwired into a dimmer switch, allowing you to dim or brighten the lights. However, this is generally the extent of the functionality of traditional home lighting.”

Incandescent lamps use around 10 times the amount of energy as LED bulbs, which can last up to two years.
