Energy Efficient Lighting
In addition to using task lighting, one very easy and inexpensive way is to invest in Energy Efficient Light Bulbs. The two most common types are: 1. Compact Fluorescent Lamps or CFL's
2. Light Emitting Diodes or LED's. Advantages of Energy Efficient BulbsLonger LastingEnergy Efficient bulbs last about 10 times longer - that means you save your money AND your time and energy because you don't have to change light bulbs so often.
More Energy EfficientEnergy Efficient bulbs use about ~1/4 the energy of regular lighting, saving you money on your energy bill.
Easy, Do-It-Yourself "Installation"All you do is change your light bulbs and voila! More Energy Efficient Lighting!
An Inexpensive InvestmentInitially, CFL's and LED's cost more but when you factor in their long life and Energy Efficiency, they come out far cheaper in the long run.
Perfect for RentersYour new CFL's are your investment. Take them with you when you move!
Replace as Few as One Bulb At a TimeIf you're on a tight budget and can only afford one or two new bulbs at a time, that's fine. You will still be saving energy and money.
Note: To maximize your savings, replace the bulbs you use the most first, such as bathroom and kitchen bulbs. Safer for Your Home and FamilyBecause LED's and CFL's produce less heat, they feel cool when you touch them. Regular lighting heats up and can pose potential fire hazards.
