While traditional (incandescent) lightbulbs may be cheaper upfront, they are less energy-efficient and have a shorter lifespan compared to sustainable alternatives like LED bulbs. The CIPS L3M6 module stresses whole-life costing in sustainable procurement, where environmental impact and long-term costs outweigh initial savings. Choosing traditional bulbs contradicts CSR goals of reducing energy consumption and environmental harm.

This reminds me of a practice question we did where the focus was on environmental impact. I’m leaning towards FALSE, but I’m not completely confident.

I’m kind of torn on this one. I know traditional bulbs are cheaper upfront, but I think they use more energy over time.

I feel like we discussed this in class, and the teacher said traditional bulbs are less efficient, so maybe it's not just about the price.

I think I remember something about the long-term costs of energy-efficient bulbs being lower, but I'm not entirely sure.
