How to save money on lighting
Smaller wattage light bulbs, fluorescent lamps, timers, motion sensors and occupancy sensors can all help reduce your energy costs. In other words, if you forget to turn off the lights, these technologies will do that for you.
The newer LED (light emitting diode) light bulbs are the next generation. In its early development, greater energy savings are evident. However, it will take a while before LED bulbs are available economically to consumers.
In summary, my two daughters are married now and have moved out of the house. We’ve changed a few lights to CFL’s and installed a couple of motion and occupancy sensors to control other lights. Although my wife and I feel the heartache of not having our girls close by, we have saved almost enough on electricity to pay for our retirement.
