Saya jarang guna lampu pijar di rumah atau pejabat kerana ia tidak menjimatkan tenaga dan umur lampu pendek. Lampu LED atau CFL lebih cekap dan tahan lama. Lampu pijar hanya digunakan kadang-kadang untuk cahaya hangat dan selesa.

I no longer use incandescent lamps at home or at work because they are not energy efficient and consume more electricity compared to LED lamps. LED lamps are brighter, last longer, and help to reduce electricity bills. In addition, they are environmentally friendly because they use less power and produce less heat.

For me personally, I've almost completely transitioned away from incandescent lamps, both at home and (if I were in a position to choose) at work.

Saya kini jarang menggunakan lampu pijar di rumah atau tempat kerja kerana ia kurang menjimatkan tenaga dan cepat panas. Lampu LED atau halogen lebih efisien, tahan lama, dan memberikan pencahayaan yang lebih baik, sesuai untuk penggunaan jangka panjang.

Most people no longer use incandescent lamps at home or work because they consume a lot of energy, have a short lifespan, and produce excessive heat. Instead, LED and CFL lamps are preferred as they are more energy-efficient, last longer, and are better for the environment.

TIDAK. Lampu pijar (incandescent) tidak lagi digunakan secara meluas di rumah atau tempat kerja moden, terutamanya di Malaysia.
