Lighting Tips To Save Money

Money-Saving Lighting Tips

• Turn off lights when not in use
• Place light reflecting floor lamps and hanging lamps in corners or near walls to produce better room lighting
• Replacing incandescent bulbs with CFLs or LEDs reduces heat — your air conditioner won’t need to work as hard
• Place ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs in fixtures you use most frequently — certain CFLs are designed to work in dimmable, three-way fixtures that are hard to reach, such as ceiling fans and outdoor light fixtures
• CFLs and LEDs last longer and won’t need to be changed as often as an incandescent bulb
• ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs come in a variety of sizes — today’s CFLs are designed to be smaller and thinner than earlier models
• Replace incandescent fixtures with ENERGY STAR qualified CFL fixtures
