How to save on electricity, heating, cooling and water bills. Energy Savings at Home ( Lighting )
There are a number of things you can do to save energy in every room of your home. Turning off the lights is always a good start to save energy and money. But, are you aware of other ways to reduce your energy bill even more?
Some bright ideas for lighting your home more efficiently.
Tips
- You can lower overall energy demand by concentrating bright light where you need it rather than evenly lighting the entire room – this is called ‘task lighting.
- Opening your blinds is a free way to brighten up a room.
- For any light that must be on all night (e.g., stairways), replace the bulbs with the lowest wattage bulbs that you’re comfortable with or consider a compact fluorescent or a nightlight.
- Decorate your home with illumination in mind – lighter colours reflect light, so use them in areas you want to be bright.
- Keep light fixtures clean – a cleaner bulb is a brighter bulb.
Energy Facts
- Contrary to popular belief, less energy is consumed when lights are turned on and off as you come and go than if a light is left on all the time.
