Efficient Lighting
Look for the ENERGY STAR label
when purchasing these products.
Turn off the lights in any room youre
not using, or consider installing timers,
photo cells, or occupancy sensors to
reduce the amount of time your lights
are on.
Use task lighting; instead of brightly
lighting an entire room, focus the light
where you need it. For example, use
fluorescent under-cabinet lighting for
kitchen sinks and countertops under
cabinets.
Consider three-way lamps; they make
it easier to keep lighting levels low
when brighter light is not necessary.
Use 4-foot fluorescent fixtures with
reflective backing and electronic
ballasts for your workroom, garage,
and laundry areas.
Consider using 4-watt minifluorescent
or electro-luminescent night lights.
Both lights are much more efficient
than their incandescent counterparts.
The luminescent lights are cool to the
touch.
Use CFLs in all the portable table and
floor lamps in your home. Consider
carefully the size and fit of these
systems when you select them. Some
home fixtures may not accommodate
some of the larger CFLs.
Recessed downlights (also called
recessed cans) are now available that
are rated for contact with insulation
(IC rated), are designed specifically for
pin-based CFLs, and can be used in
retrofits or new construction.
Take advantage of daylight by using
light-colored, loose-weave curtains
on your windows to allow daylight to
penetrate the room while preserving
privacy. Also, decorate with lighter
colors that reflect daylight.This Information has been obtained from U.S Department of Energy, check out their website for more details.
