Save energy on lighting.
Incandescent globes are miniature heaters – most of the energy used by
a traditional light bulb is converted to heat rather than light. CFL
(Compact Fluorescent Lamps) use far less electricity and LED lamps
even less. While more expensive than traditional light globes, they
also last far longer.
Anirban Banerjee of iDream opines that one could consider task-based
lighting. For example, when working on the computer at night, I don’t
need to have the whole room bathed in light, just my computer desk
area; so I use an LED lamp that draws only a watt.
Dimmer switches can also help you save electricity in the home, but if
you’re using CFL or LED lamps, make sure they are compatible with
dimming features.
If you use lighting outdoors consider solar powered garden lamps.
These usually require no wiring as they have internal rechargeable
batteries and will switch on automatically at dusk and switch off at
dawn. For security lighting, use sensor lights that will only switch
on when someone approaches.
