Saving money on lighting is a huge and smart way to conserve energy. Simply switching light bulbs can increase the energy savings by a significant margin. There are LED lights that use very little as in 3-5 watts producing the same amount of illumination.
Then, there are energy saving light bulbs that use a third or less energy as regular light bulbs. And every little bit of savings adds up. Of course, these are just some of the ways to save energy in the lighting needs of your home or business.
Another good way to save energy is to strategically place the furniture to take advantage of the outside sunlight. At night when reading it often helps to pull down blinders which allow inside lights to reflect back into the room rather than a large dark window curtailing the lighting efficiency.
The types of light bulbs you use can significantly increase illumination and we all know that changing out your light bulbs to more efficient light bulbs is one of the easiest ways to save on your home electric bill. You might also be surprised that some of the energy efficient light bulbs are both brighter and last 100s of hours longer as well.
When you change out your light bulbs and adjust your furniture you can literally light up a room and improve the ambiance 10-fold. Those who do home-staging to help sell residential real estate often say; "it's all about lighting and ambiance," of course, they also realize that the furniture lay out is paramount. Maybe we can all learn a little about ambiance and energy efficiency from such experts; think on this.
