Hey Kids - Turn of the Lights!!! 

Got Kids??

Your Canberra Electrician has and is forever at them to turn of the lights in their rooms. Of course as busy pre-teens they obviously don't have the time to pause at the door and flick the switch.

Now problem solved........ I have installed Ringgrips 36 minute timer bulbs in each of their rooms.

These bulbs are 60W incandescent bulbs that will automatically turn themselves off after 36 minutes.

While I generally use CFLs in our home, the break even point for electricity consumption for these timer lights compared to an 11watt CFL, is about 3 hours and 30 minutes. Much less than a school day.

So in our house, using these lights in the kids rooms saves our power usage and helps do our bit for the environment.

I am so pleased with the results that the Canberra Electrician team will give you one to try out for free with any service call we make to your home.
