Lower your carbon footprint and power bill
Light your house and garden with Switch LEDs and lower your power consumption. Save money, reduce your carbon footprint and benefit New Zealand.

Our 11W recessed downlight will give out the same light as a 50W halogen. That's nearly 80% reduction in energy consumption. In a standard modern home with 30 halogen downlights, you could save up to $600 a year in energy costs alone. That doesn't take into account the carbon dioxide you would otherwise emit by driving to the store for your replacement globes or the time to change the blown globes. Our unit will last at least 60,000 hours. Over that 60,000 hours you could save up to $12,500 on replacement globes and energy costs....

As an argument, isn’t it breathtakingly nuts to suggest people wanting to live in Auckland without owning a car are somehow deplorable?
