VISITORS to the Urdd Eisteddfod in Carmarthen received tips on how to become more energy efficient.

Officers from Carmarthenshire County Council housing services were on hand throughout the week to give advice and give away energy efficient light bulbs which use a quarter of the electricity of a normal light bulb and last up to 12 times longer.

Energy efficient bulbs cost around £5 each but council officials say provide a saving on bills of approximately £10 over the year.
