  Some Bright Ideas Cutting back on inefficient lighting is one of the simplest ways to cut costs and conserve energy. |
Follow these easy steps to get started right away:  Use
compact fluorescent light bulbs. They're four times more energy efficient
than normal incandescent bulbs, and they last six to ten times longer. Open
your shades in the daytime to let in natural light. If you're looking
for privacy (or a cooler home), use thin, light-colored shades. Use
focused lighting such as desk lamps to avoid needlessly lighting entire
rooms.Turn
the lights off when a room isn't being used! |
